Conversion: 1 crore = 100 lakhs = 10 million. Company amount (Rs.19.01 crore) combines Rs.18.58 crore in arbitration claims filed BY the company (recovery, not liability) with Rs.0.43 crore in tax demands and TDS defaults (potential liability). Indirect tax summons amount and Pushkraj writ petition monetary exposure are not stated. TDS defaults of Rs.85,621 across 3 financial years are administrative and excluded from the 'tax' count of 5 but included in the amount. KMP/Senior Management (Harsha Kumar CD, Nischith P) have 4 income-tax demand entries totalling ~Rs.7.65 lakhs but fall outside the schema's 5-party list. The Company has no group companies. No grand total is stated in the prospectus.. Outstanding means unresolved — a listed case is an exposure, not a verdict.
