In the current scenario, the Company is faced with liquidity crunch and has undisputed statutory dues to the tune of Rs.292.94 lakhs that are yet to be paid as at March 31, 2024. Due to non- payment of statutory liabilities, there may be potential non-compliance under relevant statutes and regulations.

However, the Company is confident of meeting its obligations in the normal course of its business and accordingly, the financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a going concern basis.
