After the year end, the Company has complied with all the conditions precedent including that of the subsequent Amendment Agreements to the RSA.

Accordingly, as confirmed by These Trusts, the debt restructuring has become effective on 23rd May 2022 from the cut-off date of 31st March 2020, which has resulted into write back of borrowings of Rs. 8689 Lakhs, reversal of excess interest charged for the period of 1st April 2020 to 31st December, 2021 of Rs. 160836 Lakhs and recognition of one-time fair value gain as at the cut- off date amounting to Rs. 106689 Lakhs, in accordance with IND AS 109 "Financial instruments".

(iii)Pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement in relation to demerger and merger of Steel Division at Siltara, Raipur with the Company Under Section 391 to 394 of the Companies Act, 1956 as approved by the Hon'ble High Court of Mumbai, Nagpur Bench, Nagpur vide its order dated 16th September 2013, an amount payable of Rs. 10444 Lakhs was recognised in the books of the Company.

The Demerged Company also filed winding up petition under the provisions of Section 434 of the Companies Act, 1956, before the Hon'ble Bombay High Court, Nagpur Bench, Nagpur which was disputed by the Company. The said petition was subsequently withdrawn by the Demerged Company as confirmed by the Hon'ble Bombay High Court, Nagpur Bench, Nagpur, vide its order dated 25th February 2021 and thereafter no further claim in this regard has been received by the Company. In view of the above, the management is of the view that the above-mentioned amount is no more payable and hence the same has been written back during the year.

(vi) Subsequent to the quarter end and on account of the acquisition of the entire Principal Outstanding Debt of the Company by These trusts declared and managed by Assets Care & Reconstruction Enterprise Limited ('ACRE') in its capacity as a trustee of These trusts and the Company having entered into Restructuring Support Agreement with These trusts, ACRE-54 Trust (acting through its trustee ACRE and being assignee of the debt of State Bank of India ) has made the necessary filing for substitution and withdrawal of insolvency proceedings earlier initiated against the Company by the State Bank of India before the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Mumbai Bench, under Section 7 of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 in view of no default under the debt restructuring by the Company . The NCLT Mumbai Bench has closed the matter for appropriate order after hearing the matter on 10th May 2022. The Final order copy is awaited.

2 In the earlier years, the Directorate of Enforcement by way of two attachments had provisionally attached the Plant and Machinery under installation at Dagori Integrated Steel Plant situated at Bilha, Bilaspur (Chhattisgarh) and certain property, plant and equipment at Steel Plant Division, Siltara, Raipur to the extent of Rs. 30758 Lakhs for alleged misuse of coal raised from Gare Palma IV/4 coal block in Chhattisgarh.

The Adjudicating Authority had confirmed the above provisional attachments. Subsequently, the Appellate Authority stayed both the attachments on an appeal filed by the Company where the matter has been put up for hearing on 22nd September 2022. The Company has a good case on merits, is likely to succeed in refuting the allegations and does not expect any material liability on the Company on this account.

The figures for the quarter ended 31st March 2022 and 31st March 2021 are the balancing figures between the audited figures of the full financial year and the published year to date figures up to the third quarter of the respective financial year.
