some of the disputes. The one-man committee submitted its report on to Honâble High Court of
Delhi on 22nd April, 2016.Taking cognizance of the report, Honâble High Court of Delhi on 10th
August, 2017 accepted the recommendation of one-man committee enumerated in the report.
Under Scheme of One-Man Committee, Interest of Rs 235 Lakhs are payable to Debenture
Holders and Rs 1,448 Lakhs are payable to Fixed Depositors under Phase-2 of Schedule of
Payments laid down by One Man Committee. Presently the said committee has waived any

scheme. No provision of Rs. 1,683 Lakhs as laid down under the scheme towards Interest
on Debentures and Fixed Deposits, have been provided in the financial statements on the
outstanding amount of Debentures and Fixed Deposits.
Had interest of Rs. 1,683 Lakhs been provided for in the financial statements of year ending
31st March 2018 on outstanding amount of Debentures and Fixed Deposits, the Net Profit
before tax would have been lowered by Rs. 1,683 Lakhs and Net Profit after tax would have
been lowered by Rs. 1,340 Lakhs as at 31st March, 2018. The cumulative net loss as well as
Current Liabilities as at 31st March, 2024 would have been higher by Rs 1,340 Lakhs. The
same has been explained in Note 15.2 and Note 15.3.
*The Honâble High Court of Delhi has appointed Mr. Laxmi Kant Gaur, District Judge (Retd.)
vide its order dated 29th July 2021, as the One Man Committee in place of Honâble Mr. Justice

stands, at the stage when Honâble Mr. Justice Anil Kumar unfortunately expired. The agenda
of the One Man Committee would be as per the order dated 3rd September, 2015, read with
subsequent orders passed, if any, in that regard.
Directorâs Comment: Provision of interest on certain liabilities covered under Para i and under notes
15.2. & 15.3 is in accordance with the Scheme of restructuring filed by the Company before the
Hon''ble Delhi High Court, which provides for waiver and cancellation of interest and the same is
pending before the Hon''ble Court. Further, the quantum of interest, if any will be decided by the High
Court of Delhi upon completion of phase II payments and sale of assets.
(ii) For redemption of âBâ series debentures of Rs. 2014.98 Lakhs debenture redemption
reserve is required to be created. Debenture redemption reserve of Rs. 2014.98 Lakhs has not
been created due to insufficient profits. The same has been explained in Note 15.2
Directorâs Comment: Non-creation of debenture redemption reserve. The same cannot be created
due to insufficient profits in the past against the redemption of debenture. This has no impact on
financial results of the company as redemption reserve is to be created out of Reserve and Surplus
available with the company. Company has commenced repayments in the earlier years as well as in
the current Year as per directions of the Honâble High Court of Delhi vide order dated 10th Aug,2017
and recommendations of One Man Committee. Company is still not creating Debenture redemption
Reserve for the same reason that it has no sufficient profits to do so.

institutions have been depleted over a period of time. The depletion has not yet been
ascertained by the Company. To the extent of shortfall, if any, the liability is unsecured,
whereas the same has been shown as secured. The same has been explained in Note 15.2.
Directorâs Comment: It relates to the ascertainment of Security against Debentures and Bank
Loan, which could not be ascertained since the Company has litigation with various Lease and Hire
Purchase customers and the matters are sub-judice, hence confirmations and acknowledgments are
not feasible.

balances, FD balances with bank, rent receivables, other advances, borrowings, balances
payable to related parties and other receivables and payables have not been received from
the parties/ persons concerned. In the absence of balance confirmations, the closing balances
as per books of accounts have been incorporated in the financial statements and have been
shown, unless otherwise stated by the management about its recoverability in the financials
including considering the NPA Provisions, are good for recovery/payment. Time barred debts
under the Limitations Act have not been separately ascertained and written off or provided for.
In the absence of such confirmation & corresponding reconciliation, it is not feasible for us to
determine financial impact on the financial statements and the amount referred as receivable/
payable in the financial statements can differ .(Please refer Note No.-38).
Directorâs Comment: Balance Confirmation of security deposits, trade receivables, some bank
balances, some FD with bank, rent receivables, other advances, borrowings, balance payable to

B. SECRETARIAL AUDITOR
Pursuant to the provision of Section 204 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with the Companies
(Appointment and Remuneration of Managerial Personnel) Rule, 2014, the Company has appointed
M/s. Jain P & Associates, Company Secretaries to undertake Secretarial Audit of the Company for
the Financial Year 2023-24.
The Secretarial Audit was conducted by Ms. Preeti Mittal, Company Secretary, and the report
thereon is annexed herewith as âAnnexure-C and form part of this report.".
Qualification(s) and Directorsâ comments on the report of Secretarial Auditor:
Observation: E Form DPT-3 not filed for the Financial Years 2022-23 & 2023-24.
Directorâs Comment: The filing of Form DPT-3 has now been shifted to V3 portal of MCA, which
contains the mandatory field to specify SRN of Form GNL-2, in which DPT-1 is filed. Before the
introduction of Form DPT-3, the Company was required to file Return of Deposits in Form GNL-2.
Since there was no requirement of filing DPT-1 in Form GNL-2, as company had not issued any
circular in form of Advertisement inviting Deposits from the Public, during the relevant period. So, we
have not filed DPT-1, as attachment in Form GNL- 2, with MCA, hence SRN of Form GNL -2 is not
available with us. We are in process of following up with MCA to resolve the issue.
Observation:
It is imperative to mention here that the R.B.I. had filed a petition for winding up of the Company being
CP No 296/2004. The petition for winding up was heard on 6th March, 2006 and the Honâble High
Court, Delhi directed that the Company shall not operate its bank accounts without the permission of
the court. It is further pertinent to mention that the order is still in operation.
The Company had issued non-convertible debentures in the year 1995-96 on a private placement
basis, wherein the Central Bank of India had been appointed as their Debenture Trustee. Further, at
the time when redemption of the said debentures got due, the Company was ordered by Reserve
Bank of India to make re-payment to the debenture holders in
priority to any other âCreditorâ including the Redemption of these Debentures. However, due to
serious financial and cash flow constraints being faced by the Company, the Company could not
make payment to any party at that time. As on date of this report, payment to many Debenture holders
is still pending to be made by the Company.
Thereafter, the matter went to the Honâble High Court, Delhi, in the form of a scheme which got
approved on 10th August, 2017.
Further, as required under the approved scheme, the Company has duly initiated the process of
making repayment to the Deposit Holders, but still payment could not be made to the many Deposit
Holders.
Directorâs Comment
Repayments to debenture holders are being carried out in compliance with the directives of the
Honâble High Court of Delhi and the One Man Committee. All debenture holders have received
payments from the One-Man Committee, whose Know Your Customer (KYC) information and claims
were verified to be correct.

AUDITORS' REPORT
The Auditors' Report on the Accounts of the Company is attached. The
Directors' observation on the Auditors' Report are as under:
1. Provision of interest on certain liabilities covered under notes 5
(c), 5(e), 6(B), (C), (D), 7 (e), and 8 is in accordance with the
Scheme of restructuring filed by the Company before the Hon'ble Delhi
High Court, which provides for waiver and cancellation of interest and
the same is pending before the Hon'ble Court.
2. Depletion in the value of Assets charged to Banks/Institution and
Debentures covered under notes 5(a) and 6(E) relates to ascertainment
of Security against Debentures and Bank Loan, which could not be
ascertained since the Company is in litigation with various Lease and
Hire Purchase customers and the matters are sub-judice, hence
confirmations and acknowledgements are not feasible.
3. The default in repayment to depositors as mentioned in note7(a) and
Para 6 in CARO report is comprehensively covered by the Scheme of
Arrangement filed before the Hon'ble High Court of Delhi and approved
by the creditors at their meetings held under the directions of the
Hon'ble Delhi High Court.
4. Maintenance of minimum liquid assets covered under note 7(f) Due to
the liquidity crisis and default in payment to fixed depositors, the
liquid assets held by the Company had to be used for payment to
depositors. Thereafter, the Company has made application to the RBI as
well as the Hon'ble Company Law Board for exemption from maintaining
minimum liquid assets.
5. Provision of Non Performing Assets as per RBI norms under Note 9:
Though keeping in line with the philosophy and experiences during the
years, that recoveries have been made even from the assets which were
classified as Non Performing as per the Prudential Norms of RBI. The
total NPA provisions as on date of Balance Sheet aggregates to Rs.
1556.79 lacs. This is to give a more realistic picture of the
receivable of the Company and will also put more stress on recovery.
Accordingly it is deemed expedient that the provision for
non-performing assets may be made at a realistic level. The Director's
view is that assessment of recoverable should depend on the estimate of
the recovery matters, financial position of the defaulting customers
and payment by the Customer in the subsequent years and the present
negotiations/ commitment with/ by the customers. Non reconciliation of
stock in trade ÃNote 11, the stocks in trade are primarily from share
division customer accounts and bad delivery of shares, which used to be
in physical form at that time and hence complete reconciliation has not
been done however reconciliation is under process.
6. Going Concern Basis à Note 13: In accordance with section 217 (2AA)
of the Companies Act, 1956, the financial statements are required to be
made on going concern basis. In light of the fresh scheme of

not only prudent but also imperative to draw the financial statement

oriented, fee based business leading to progressive reduction in the
debt of the Company. The Scheme of Arrangement would not only enable
the Company to wipe out its debts but will also enable it to reduce
carry forward losses to be a profitable entity. Further in accordance
with amended Section 217 (2AA) of the Companies Act, 1956, the
financial statements are required to be made on going concern basis.
7. Balance confirmation & Un-Reconciled Balances à Note 14(a) & 14
(b): As the Company is under litigation for a majority of bills
receivable and payables, and the matters are sub- judice, confirmations
and acknowledgments are not feasible.

9. Stock in trade : With reference to Clause 5(f) of the auditor's

share holders in the AGM held on 30" December 2004 had approved the
same, however steps for delisting could not be taken due to
circumstances beyond control of the Company.
Due to sustained efforts made by your Company in recovery of dues from
its customers and efforts for settlement of liabilities towards secured
and unsecured creditors in particular the Fixed Deposit holders, the
Reserve Bank of India (RBI) allowed your Companys application for
grant of certificate for registration (COR) as NBFC to remain pending

Companys application for grant of Certificate of Registration (CoR).
Your Company filed an appeal before the Appellate Authority in the

Authority directed the Reserve Bank of India to keep its order of
rejection of CoR in abeyance for a period of six months during which

appropriate authority or till the disposal of the Companys review
petition by the Honble Delhi High Court. Even though your Companys
business plan as of now do not envisage any fresh aggressive fund based

the Appellant Authority. RBI thereafter filed a Petition for winding up

AUDITORS REPORT
The Auditors Report on the Accounts of the Company is attached. The
Directors observation on the Auditors Report are as under: -
1. Provision of interest on certain liabilities covered under notes 5
(c), 5(e), 6(B), (C), (D), 7 (e), and 8 is in accordance with the
Scheme of restructuring filed by the Company before the Honble Delhi
High Court, which provides for waiver and cancellation of interest and
the same is pending before the Honble Court.
2. Depletion in the value of Assets charged to Banks/Institution and
Debentures covered under notes 5(a) and 6(E) relates to ascertainment
of Security against Debentures and Bank Loan, which could not be
ascertained since the Company is in litigation with various Lease and
Hire Purchase customers and the matters are sub-judice, hence
confirmations and acknowledgements are not feasible.
3. The default in repayment to depositors as mentioned in note7(a) and
para 6 in CARO report is comprehensively covered by the Scheme of
Arrangement filed before the Honble High Court of Delhi and approved
by the creditors at their meetings held under the directions of the
Honble Delhi High Court.
4. Maintenance of minimum liquid assets covered under note 7(f): Due
to the liquidity crisis and default in payment to fixed depositors, the
liquid assets held by the Company had to be used for payment to
depositors. Thereafter, the Company has made application to the RBI as
well as the Honble Company Law Board for exemption from maintaining
minimum liquid assets.
5. Provision of Non Performing Assets as per RBI norms under Note 9:
Though keeping in line with the philosophy and experiences during the
years, that recoveries have been made even from the assets which were
classified as Non Performing as per the Prudential Norms of RBI. The
total NPA provisions as on date of Balance Sheet aggregates to Rs.
1556.79 lacs. This is to give a more realistic picture of the
receivable of the Company and will also put more stress on recovery.
Accordingly it is deemed expedient that the provision for
non-performing assets may be made at a realistic level. The Directors
view is that assessment of recoverable should depend on the estimate of
the recovery matters, financial position of the defaulting customers
and payment by the Customer in the subsequent years and the present
negotiations/ commitment with/ by the customers. Non reconciliation of
stock in trade -Note 11, the stocks in trade are primarily from share
division customer accounts and bad delivery of shares, which used to be
in physical form at that time and hence complete reconciliation has not
been done however reconciliation is under process.
6. Going Concern Basis - Note 13: In accordance with section 217 (2AA)
of the Companies Act, 1956, the financial statements are required to be
made on going concern basis. In light of the fresh scheme of
restructuring pending before the Honble Delhi High Court, the Company
has plans for future business and income generation. Accordingly it is
not only prudent but also imperative to draw the financial statement
based on such Going Concern basis. The Scheme seeks to restructure
relying on debt equity swaps and profits earned by engaging in service
oriented, fee based business leading to progressive reduction in the
debt of the Company. The Scheme of Arrangement would not only enable
the Company to wipe out its debts but will also enable it to reduce
carry forward losses to be a profitable entity. Further in accordance
with amended Section 217 (2AA) of the Companies Act, 1956, the
financial statements are required to be made on going concern basis.
8. Balance confirmation & Un-Reconciled Balances - Note 14(a) & 14
(b): As the Company is under litigation for a majority of bills
receivable and payables, and the matters are sub-judice, confirmations
and acknowledgments are not feasible.
9. Rental receivable: With reference to Clause 5(f) of the auditors
report , there are certain disputes with the tenant and the company is
following up with the tenant to recover/settle thedues.
10. Stock in trade: With reference to Clause 5(f) of the auditors
report, efforts are on to get transferred these shares held under bad
delivery in the name of the company and the value of these shares are
much higherthan considered in the books.
11. Director remuneration: Note 15-The Company could not file
application for approval of remuneration of director in the absence of
NOC from the financial institutions , which is a pre-requisite for
filing the application. The company is following up for the NOC from
the institutions for necessary approval.
12. Note 18 on Contingent liabilities: The Company is contesting
claims lodged against it not acknowledged as debts including claims on
account of securitization transaction and underwriting obligations.
Rest of the contingent liabilities are being addressed through the
Scheme. Claim of Rs 1 Cr filed against the company by the tenant. To
settle the claim, the company is negotiating
All the other notes are self-explanatory.
