With reference to the points raised under STATUTORY AUDITOR'S REPORT the "Basis
for Qualified Opinion" in audit report, we, the management of GVP Infotech Limited,
hereby provide our representation as follows:
1. Provision for Doubtful Debts - Minosha India Ltd and RUDSICO
The Company has not created a provision for doubtful debts pertaining to the following
receivables:
• Minosha India Ltd (Formerly Ricoh India Limited): Outstanding amount of Rs110.02
Crores.
The Company has initiated arbitration proceedings to claim approximately Rs395 Crores
against Minosha India Limited for multiple projects executed jointly which is more than 3
times of amount outstanding in the books of accounts.
In light of the ongoing arbitration, the Company has assessed that the recovery is
possible based on legal advice and therefore has not made any provision, although
uncertainty in timing and quantum of recovery is acknowledged.
• Rajasthan Urban Drinking Water, Sewerage and Infrastructure Corporation
(RUDSICO):
The Company served an arbitration notice on 06.03.2023 for nonpayment under the
"Smart Rajasthan" project contract amounting to Rs35.28 Crores, which was
terminated prematurely.
The matter is currently pending before the Hon'ble High Court of Jaipur for appointment
of an arbitrator, and the Company is pursuing its legal remedies for recovery.
We understand that as per Ind AS 37, a provision should be made when recovery is
uncertain. However, the management is of the view that considering the stage of legal
proceedings and the strength of claims backed by documentation and legal opinion, no
provision has been created at this stage. We assure you that we will continuously evaluate
the recoverability and update the accounting treatment accordingly in future financial
periods.
2. Provision for Outstanding Amount - Linkwell Tele Systems Pvt. Ltd.
The Company has filed an application under Section 9 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy
Code, 2016 before the Hon'ble NCLT Hyderabad for the recovery of Rs7.90 Crores from
Linkwell Tele Systems Pvt. Ltd.
While this amount remains outstanding and subject to legal proceedings, management is
of the opinion, based on legal counsel and supporting documentation, that the receivable
is legally enforceable and recoverable, and hence, no provision has been considered
necessary as per Ind AS 37 at this stage.
Nonetheless, the Company acknowledges the inherent uncertainty in legal outcomes and
commits to reassessing the provision requirement periodically.
