Observations	Management Remark
The Company has filed the Form AOC-XBRL for the F.Y 2022-23 by paying additional fees of Rs. 1400/-, under section 137 of Companies Act, 2013 and Rule 12(1) of Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014.	Due to some ongoing technical glitch with the XBRL filing software the Company couldnt generate the XML file on time which in turn caused delay in filing of the Form AOC-XBRL.
The Company passed an Ordinary Resolution instead of Special Resolution for appointment of Manaklal Agarwal as an Independent Director of the Company as prescribed under Regulation 25 (2A) of SEBI (LODR), regulations 2015.	Please note that, Mr. Manaklal Agarwal (DIN: 10214780), was duly appointed as an Independent Director of the Company, vide an ordinary resolution passed in the 12th Annual General Meeting held on 30th September, 2023. While passing the resolution our then Company Secretary did keep in mind the pre-requisite stated under section 152 of Companies act, 2013 which demands passing of an ordinary resolution in the general meeting for appointment of an Independent Director, however we happen to inadvertently overlook the requirement of passing a Special Resolution as prescribed under Regulation 25 (2A) of SEBI (LODR), regulations 2015 which was inserted w.e.f. 1st January, 2022. Our Company "Mukta Agriculture Limited" is a well compliant company and is committed to maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance. We understand that we should have been more diligent in meeting the regulatory requirements and consequently we are unquestionably apologetic for the bona fide mistake made at the end of the Company, however we would like to bring to you attention that despite the resolution with respect to Mr. Manaklals appointment as an Independent Director of the Company was put up as an Ordinary Resolution, but it was still passed with a requisite majority of 99.986% votes in its favor. In view of the above clarification, we henceforth assure that we will stay informed with latest updates in laws & regulations and would beforehand consider every aspect of regulations and provisions that shall be made applicable to the Company.
