Note 1: During the reported quarter, Rs 40.20 million were transferred from eMudhra Limited MA account to eMudhra Limited Kotak Mahindra Bank account for operational ease. Out of this amount, Rs. 13.23 million & Rs. 26.97 million were utilized towards Object 1 and Object 4 respectively.
Note 2: During the reported quarter, due to operational ease, the Company utilized internal accruals of Rs. 100.00 million from its Kotak Mahindra Bank account towards objects of the issue, which was later reimbursed from issue proceeds. The reimbursement was facilitated through the maturity of ICICI Fixed deposit created out of issue proceeds. However, the reimbursement was made in tranches, first on January 31, 2025, and due to bank holidays and internal delays, the final transfer occurred on April 4, 2025. The statutory auditor's certificate and management undertaking confirm the reimbursement trail and reasons for the delay.
