Padam Cotton Yarns has submitted the Monitoring Agency Report from Infomerics Valuation and Rating for its Rights Issue of Rs. 18.71 crore (9.03 crore equity shares at Rs. 2.07 each) that closed in March 2026. The Monitoring Agency has flagged a deviation of 15.23% (Rs. 2.85 crore) from the stated objects of the issue. This includes Rs. 2.48 crore of General Corporate Purpose funds deployed as interest-bearing loans to unrelated parties — Rs. 0.48 crore to Ved Shastra Astro and Rs. 2.00 crore to DSP Technical and Financial Services — which were not disclosed in the offer document, plus Rs. 0.37 crore of issue-related expense reimbursements to Ved Shastra Astro that the agency could not independently verify. Of the Rs. 18.71 crore raised, Rs. 15.34 crore was used for working capital (fully deployed), Rs. 0.57 crore for issue expenses, and Rs. 2.80 crore for general corporate purposes. The company defends the loans as compliant with Section 186 of the Companies Act and approved by shareholders and the Board. Almost all funds were utilized in Q4FY26, with only Rs. 4,791 left unutilized.
The 15.23% deviation flag and use of Rights Issue proceeds for loans to undisclosed, unrelated parties raise corporate governance red flags for shareholders. While management defends the deployment as legal and commercially beneficial, the Monitoring Agency's inability to independently verify certain transactions may dent investor confidence and draw regulatory scrutiny.
