Report

With respect to the qualified opinion of the Statutory
Auditors in their report, the management is of the
view that:

pertaining to prior period balances were
identified during the current Financial Year.
These errors have been rectified and accounted
for in the current Financial Year.

is in process of reconciling a difference of
approximately R 610 lakhs between Input Tax
Credit (ITC) under Goods and Services Tax (GST)

loans to wholly-owned subsidiaries and other
companies.. However, the amount was classified
under "Investments” in one of its wholly owned
subsidiary Company namely, Allied INC-USA.
This classification error was identified during the

the interest had not been charged on the loans/
advances to Allied Inc. USA and others as they
were extended to facilitate further investments,
to support the working capital and other fund
