years in terms of the first proviso to Section 139 of the Companies Act, 2013.
Further the Statutory Auditors has given qualified opinion on the Audit report and are mentioned below
along with the comments of the board of Directors on the same. We have not included the remarks of the
Auditor mentioned in the Auditorâs report herein which were self-explanatory.
There are no qualifications or adverse remarks in the Auditorâs Report Except:
(i) During the year under consideration company has adjusted its outstanding liability towards TJR Agrocom
Pvt Limited by otherwise than cash. The total liability adjusted by way of book entry is Rs. 4,30,00,000. As
per the management explanation the transaction relates to prior period and company has paid deposit
through bank entry. I have not been provided with any audit evidence in this regard and hence unable to
comment in detail on the same.
Comment: TJR Agrocom Pvt Limited had received deposit/advance from company for utilising TJR
Agrocom Pvt Limitedâs plant and machineries and buy new machineries. But the deal did not materialise,
so company has adjusted the amount it had received from TJR Agrocom Pvt Limited as loan against
companyâs liability towards TJR Agrocom Pvt Limited. The transaction is netting off in nature.
(ii) During the year under consideration company has settled its liability towards Raj Traders of Rs. 5,00,000/-
against its debtor Alpesh Trader for Rs. 4,85,242 in full and final settlement and has received waiver of Rs.
14,757/-. I have not been provided with confirmation of parties for this transaction. In absence of any clear
audit evidence regarding existence of right to receive from debtor, liability to pay toward creditors and
consent of parties for recorded settlement, I am unable to comment upon existence, reliability and
accuracy of recorded transaction.
Comment: The transaction is of transferring of actionable claim i.e. transfer of right to receive and is of
netting in nature and thus it will not have significant impact over financial statement.
(iii) I have not been provided with clear classification of creditors such as creditor for expenses and creditor for
goods. Thus, I am unable to comment upon. I have not been provided with classification of creditors and as
per management representation all creditors are other than registered under MSMED Act. Thus in absence
of clear audit evidence in this regard I am unable to determine the delay in making payment to MSME
entities, liability of interest and compliance on such delayed payments in terms of provisions 6f MSMED
Act, if any.
Comment: The creditors are classified as per accounting policies and will have no material impact over
value stated as it relates with presentation aspect.
(iv) During the year company has written off its liability towards Oasis Tradelink Ltd. Worth Rs. 26569604/-.
The management has taken this decision on the basis of fact that liquidation process has been initiated
against the creditor Oasis Tradelink Ltd. As per management the liability was disputed and thus company
is not liability to pay. As per management they have not received any communication from appointed
liquidator. Liquidation process has been initiated against creditor Oasis Tradelink Ltd. and matter is
admitted and pending before NCLT Ahmedabad- case number CP(IB) 433 of 2018. However, I have not
been provided with anu audit evidence regarding existence of dispute, communication records with
liquidator and thus I am unable to comment on this adjustment. In case liability arise in future then this
may impact financial position adversely.
Comment: The management has taken this decision on the basis of fact that liquidation process has been
initiated against the creditor Oasis Tradelink Ltd. The liability was disputed and became time barred.
Moreover, creditor has not demanded amount till date. This indicates that the liability does not exist. This
adjustment was done to make financial statement more reliable and capable to present true and fair view.
(v) Significant number of creditors are outstanding for more than 2 years. Moreover, as the amount remains
outstanding for more than six months; the input tax credit availed in relation to these transactions needs
to be reversed as required under GST Laws. This may impact financial statement adversely. In absence of
clear bifurcation of Input Tax Credit in the books of account, I am unable to quantify effect of the same.
Comment: The creditors are part of routine business transactions and company has not received any
demand from the creditors. Company has taken step to contact them. Management will try to discharge its
liability in best possible way. In absence of any confirmation, company will write off the same in
accordance with accounting policies laid down under Accounting Standards and other accounting
framework. This qualification will not have any material impact on financial statement.
(vi) During the year company has adjusted prior period wrong accounting entry against its deposit -
Performance Security (GSDM)-2. Company has adjusted total Rs.32,67,289. This has resulted into decrease
in assets by Rs. 32,67,289. I have not been provided with any supportive audit evidence in relation to this
transaction. Hence, I am unable to comment upon existence, accuracy, and value involved in the
transaction.
Comment: The accounting entry was necessary to rectify prior period mistake and to make financial
statement more reliable.
(vii) The closing stock includes significant quantity of slow or non-moving goods. The slow and non-moving
goods are identified on the basis of its movement during reporting period. Closing stock includes total 53
items of stock worth Rs. 9918167.67/- for which no single transaction is observed during the reporting
period. It constitutes almost 72% of the closing stock. Company may have to reverse input tax credit
availed and utilized, if any, for this non or slow-moving goods. This indicates doubt on marketability of the
goods. I have not been given an opportunity to physically verify these items and thus I am unable to
comment upon its existence, accuracy and realizability of the slow and non-moving stock. This may affect
financial statement adversely.
Comment: Management will take necessary steps to market the slow and non-moving goods and in case if
the same is not possible, company write off the same in accordance with accounting policies laid down
under Accounting Standards and other accounting framework.
(viii) The amount recorded as balance receivable from revenue is on the basis of management representation
and are not in conformity with records of income tax and GST department. I have not been provided any
audit evidence in this regard and thus, I am unable to comment upon existence, realizability, accuracy of
the same.

effect in accordance with accounting policies laid down under Accounting Standards and other accounting
framework as and when competent authority will pass necessary orders.
(ix) Company has obtained DDU-GKY project from Gujarat Livelihood Promotion Company Limited for
skilling Rural Youth in the state of Gujarat and project from Government of Jammu and Kashmir for skill
development and has recorded grant income of Rs. 48138797/- from these projects. This income has been
recorded as grant income under head other income. Debtor includes amount receivable from Gujarat Skill

booked skilled development expenses of Rs. 3,67,49,375 as expenses in profit and loss account of which
significant amount remains payable. I have not been provided audit evidence highlighting detailed terms
and conditions regarding recoverability of this grant. Thus, I am unable to comment upon the same.
Comment: There are no such condition attached to right to receive of grant and this observation does not
affect financial position significantly.
(x) There were no sale transactions during first five months of year under audit. Total revenue recoded against
head sale of services comes from transaction executed during last seven month of the year. The indicates
unusual trend in the sales.
Comment: Company was having some internal issues due to which it could not initiate business
transaction during first five months. The transactions executed are recorded on GST Portal and are done
