i. As referred under Clause vii (a) of Annexure B of Auditors Report on Standalone Financial
Statements:
Principal amounts pertaining to income tax demands for A.Y. 2011-12 and A.Y. 2017-18 have been
duly paid subsequent to the closure of the financial year, while the corresponding interest amounts
are still pending for payment and are under process. With respect to TDS dues, the Company has
already cleared a major portion of the amounts relating to Q1 and Q3 of A.Y. 2025-26, and the
balance is in the process of being settled. Further, the amount reported for Q4 of A.Y. 2021-22 was
only due to an accounting error, and no liability exists in this regard. The delay in compliance was
primarily due to a technical issue and administrative errors within our organization. We are actively
taking corrective measures to ensure full and timely compliance with all tax regulations going
forward.
ii. As referred under Clause ix (a) of Annexure B of Auditors Report on Standalone Financial
Statements:
The Board clarifies that the delay in EMI payments was temporary and primarily attributable to
short-term liquidity constraints arising from business slowdown and working capital mismatches.

had duly enabled the audit trail feature in its accounting software and the same was operative

Impact of Vapi Nagar Palika Matter:
During the year under review, the Company faced significant operational challenges due to a matter with Vapi Nagar Palika. Despite our relentless efforts to resolve this issue, Vapi Nagar Palika has coerced us into halting all business operations within the premises of the lake property. Despite numerous attempts to seek clarification and express our concerns through written communication, we have not received any response or acknowledgment from Vapi Nagar Palika.
We have dispatched several written communications seeking clearance of pending issues and clarification on the matter. Unfortunately, no response has been received, leaving us in a state of uncertainty and legal limbo. It is important to note that the decision to cease business activities at the leased property is being imposed upon us by Vapi Nagar Palika. This forced cessation is considered illegal and constitutes a serious breach of the lease agreement by Vapi Nagar Palika.
In light of this situation, the Company is exploring all available legal options to address this breach and seek appropriate remedies. We view Vapi Nagar Palika''s actions as a clear violation of our contractual rights and are committed to taking all necessary steps to safeguard our interests and those of our stakeholders.
Although the Company is experiencing challenging times, the Company is making all out efforts in responding to these challenges.
The detailed segment-wise performance of the Company can be found in the Management Discussion and Analysis Report as "Annexure-I", which is part of this Annual Report. The Company remains focused on strategic initiatives to enhance operational efficiency and drive sustainable growth in the coming years.

During the financial year 2017-18, 6 (Six) Meetings of the Board of Directors were held. The Provisions of Companies Act, 2013 and Listing Agreement were adhered to while considering the time gap between meetings.
7. VARIATION IN IPO FUND UTILISATION
It is evident from the earlier disclosures on the fund utilization raised from IPO of Shashijit Infraprojects Limited in October 2016 and further disclosures as a part of compliance procedures that we have kept aside a sum of Approx. Rs.50 lacs for the purchase of plant & machinery & scaffolding material which we projected would be needed for the running projects under execution. However, it was later realized that the particular Plant & machinery & scaffolding material which was needed for a specific site was not required during the course of execution of the work.
Further we have received additional projects, the details of which have been shared with all the stake holders and regulatory authorities from time to time through proper disclosures. We have also been in discussions & negotiations with our long standing clientele on upcoming projects which are also likely to fall in our kitty and to be executed in FY 18-19. We have achieved the projected targets for FY 17-18 and are poised to report a decent growth for the FY 18-19 as well given the work orders in hand to be executed in current financial year.
Further we have always stressed on debt free books and have been focused on value creation to the stakeholders by improving on our bottom lines and lowering the interest cost. The same is evident from the fact that despite we have achieved a sizeable growth in the top lines, we have tried to keep our interest cost to minimal by not adding much on working capital facilities and improving the working capital cycle for better efficiencies in fund management.
Hence there is an acute need of additional working capital at this juncture given the immediate work orders to be executed and utilizing liquid funds for maximizing purchasing benefits on materials.
Hence the management has decided to use the funds kept aside for purchase of plant & machinery & scaffolding material for its working capital requirements.
The disclosure in compliance with the SEBI Regulation 32 of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015 is as under:
