Astron Paper & Board Mill Limited, currently undergoing Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP), has announced its Audited Financial Results for the Quarter and Year ended March 31, 2026. The results were approved by the Insolvency Resolution Professional (IRP), Shri Atul Sheth, on May 30, 2026. The statutory auditors, M/s. H K Shah & Co., have issued a Disclaimer of Opinion on the financial results due to several significant concerns. These include the company's substantial outstanding bank loan liabilities amounting to ₹87.61 crore as of March 31, 2026, with banks having taken symbolic possession of key assets. The auditors could not verify the effects of loan defaults and recovery proceedings. Furthermore, the company's plant has been shut down since September 8, 2024, leading to substantial losses, negative net worth, and doubts about its ability to continue as a going concern. The auditors also noted issues with trade receivables, loans to a subsidiary (Balaram Papers Private Limited) without interest charges, and unprovided for expected credit losses and gratuity liabilities. The company has not made provisions for impairment on investments in its subsidiary and has not accounted for certain imported raw materials. The auditors also highlighted the lack of bank statements and confirmations, and the non-recognition of MAT Credit Entitlement. Consequently, the auditors could not obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to express an opinion on the financial results.
