Basis for Qualified Opinion
3. (a) The Company has not recognised for undisputed income tax liability of Rs. 232.66 Lakhsincluding penalty in respect of earlier years. The company has also not provided the interestpayable on the said amount of unpaid taxes, the amount of such interest is unascertainable inabsence of necessary information. The accounting treatment followed by the company in thisregard is not in accordance with Ind AS 12 - "Income taxes". As a result of non recognition ofundisputed tax liability, the balance of other equity and Current tax liability, in the balancesheet are understated to the extent of Rs. 232.66 Lakhs. Further, in the absence of necessaryinformation in respect of interest payable on such income tax liability, its impact on thefinancial statements including the Profit for the year is not quantifiable.
(b) As a Consequence of the above non compliance, the explicit and unreserved statement ofthe compliance with Ind AS as stated in note no. 2 is not in accordance with Ind AS-1Presentation of "Financial Statements".

Our conclusions are based on the auditevidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's However, future events or conditions may causethe Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
