REVISED INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Members of
Punjab Communications Limited
Revised Report on the Audit of Financial Statements
We have issued an Audit Report dated 20.05.2026 on the Financial Statements for the year ended 31.03.2026
which was submitted by the company to the Office of the Principal Accountant General (Audit), Chandigarh.
Pursuant to Provisional Comments of Comptroller and Auditor General of India issued by the Office of the
Principal Accountant General (Audit), Chandigarh consequent to supplementary audit under section 143(6)(b) of
Companies Act, 2013 via mail dated 16 July 2026. The Audit Report dated 20.05.2026 has been revised and
Qualification number 2 under the “Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements” paragraph and “Annexure
D” have been included to give effect to the Provisional Comments in respect of matters.
No changes were made in the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026 which were approved by the
Board of Directors.
This report supersedes our earlier report dated 20.05.2026 (UDIN: 26526217GCSUVT1578) on the financial
statements of M/s Punjab Communications Limited (“the Company”) for the year ended 31st March 2026.
Qualified Opinion
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Punjab Communications Limited
(CIN:L32202PB1981SGC004616), which comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March, 2026, the Statement of
Profit and Loss for the year ended on that date, Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended on that date, Statement
of Changes in Equity and Notes to financial statements, including a summary of the material accounting policies
and other explanatory information (hereinafter referred to as the Financial Statements").
In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, except for the
effects of the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the accompanying Financial
Statements give a true and fair view in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in India, of the
state of affairs of the company as at 31st March, 2026 and its profit, total comprehensive income, changes in equity
and its cash flows for the year ended on that date.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
a) As per the company's stated accounting policy, inventory is to be valued using the FIFO Method. However, the
inventory of raw materials is valued on the basis of "last purchase rate". The Company has not provided us the
valuation of the inventory as per the FIFO Method. The calculation of inventory of raw material as per the last
purchase cost is also not in compliance with the provisions of Ind AS 2 on Inventories.
b) As per the Company's accounting policy, cost of work in process includes cost of material plus direct labour which
cannot be correct as the Cost of Work in Process should be valued only at material cost. However, the inventory of
work in process carried in the Balance Sheet has been valued only at material cost. Further, the material cost is
calculated on the basis of last purchase rate method.
c) As per the Company's accounting policy, cost of finished sub-assemblies includes cost of material plus overheads
apportioned on the same. However, the inventory of finished sub-assemblies carried in the Balance Sheet have
been valued only at material cost. Further, the material cost is calculated on the basis of last purchase rate method.
d) As per IND AS- 2, INVENTORIES; "Materials and other supplies held for use in the production of inventories are
not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at
or above cost. However, when a decline in the price of materials indicates that the cost of the finished products
exceeds net realisable value, the materials are written down to net realisable value. In such circumstances, the
replacement cost of the materials may be the best available measure of their net realisable value." Therefore, the
Non-Moving Inventory of Raw Materials should be valued at the Replacement Cost.
However, the Non-Moving Inventory of Raw Materials is valued at Cost. Further, the material cost is calculated on
the basis of last purchase rate method.
e) As required by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments, the company should have an accounting policy to estimate
Expected Credit Loss (ECL) for measuring impairment of its trade receivables and other financial assets. However,
we observed that the company is not following any accounting policy to estimate ECL. In the absence of estimation
of ECL as at 31.03.2026, we are unable to comment on the possible impact on the loss for the year ended on that
date.
We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (SAs) specified
under section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013 ("the Act"). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further
described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Results" section of our report.
We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the Independence requirements that are relevant to our audit of the
financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we have fulfilled our other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI’s Code of Ethics. We believe that the audit
evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion on the financial
statements.
Emphasis of Matter
a) We draw attention to the Note 13 of the Financial Statements regarding Other Current Financial Assets –
“Others”: In Escrow account (Money held on behalf of VMC & its Associated Companies). Relevant records
stating the reason for the balance are still underway.
b) We draw attention to the Note 9 and Note 21 of the Financial Statements regarding Trade Receivables and Trade
Payables respectively. As regards net trade receivables / trade payables as at 31.03.2026, most of the trade
receivables / trade payables are outstanding for more than three years. The Company has hired an external agency
for the same and the report is yet to be received.
Our Opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.
