OnePlus India audit flags glitches, PF payment lags
The auditor of Chinese smartphone maker OnePlus Technology India has flagged irregularities such as hosting accounting software on servers outside India, using software with programme codes in a foreign language, which made it difficult for the auditor to test the codes, and delays on the part of the company in making contributions to the employees' provident fund. The smartphone maker said it is in the process of addressing the issues. In its latest filing with the Registrar of Companies on May 27, OnePlus Technology India appended the auditor's report, which also raised concerns over actions against the company from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Income Tax Department. While Shah & Jain Chartered Accountants is the company's statutory auditor, Grant Thornton Bharat LLP is its internal auditor. The filing did not specify whether one or both of the auditors flagged the issues. "Accounting software used by the company for preparation and maintenance of its books of account, has been hosted on physical servers located outside of India. Further, the program codes were maintained in a foreign language which posed significant limitations in the ability to test such codes and further due to absence of Service Organisation Control Type 2 (SOC 2)/SAE 3402, 'Assurance Reports on Controls at a Service Organization' the auditors were unable to comment on the audit trail feature of the accounting software," the filing said. It said the company, the Indian subsidiary of OnePlus Technology (Shenzhen) Co Ltd, had been maintaining its accounting data on computer servers with Guangdong OPPO Mobile Telecommunications Corp in China's Dongguan city. The auditor also said that the company had delayed its contributions to the employees' provident fund for 2023-24 and that there were "certain pending assessment dues with respect to CIT (corporate income tax) Appeals for the assessment year (20)21-22". OnePlus Technology India said in the regulatory filing that it was in the process of updating its IT systems. "The management will also test the new system to confirm that the audit trail has been enabled and make available such a report to the auditor along with the necessary access to independently test the same during the financial year 2024-25," it said. It further said it "has taken the steps for making the outstanding payment of contribution in the employee provident fund for the year 23-24" and deposited an amount against the disputed corporate income tax dues.

Auditors have been repeatedly flagging concerns over the operations and accounting of Chinese smartphone makers in India. Auditors of Oppo India and Realme India had flagged multiple concerns regarding their bookkeeping, processes and incomplete records, as per their filings with the Registrar of Companies last month.

Illegal drone sales raise alarm over agriculture, national security
Hyderabad: Certified drone manufacturers in India have raised serious concerns over the widespread use and illegal sale of non-type certified drones, particularly those imported from China. These uncertified UAVs, industry representatives warn, violate the DGCA's Drone Rules 2021, endanger public safety, and could compromise national security. Smith Shah, president of the Drone Federation of India, said the problem lies not in the absence of policy but in the failure of enforcement. "The policy is in place. These drones are usually brought into India through misdeclaration—either as separate parts or under misleading labels—and are assembled locally. When a drone is unregistered and flown without a licensed pilot, and especially if it can carry a few kilograms of payload, it becomes a potential national security threat," he said. The influx of cheap Chinese drones, especially for agricultural use, has increased over the last few years. These drones often lack critical safety features like geo-fencing, return-to-home, and auto-landing, and are being operated by individuals without any formal pilot training. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Doutor: Manter a massa muscular após os 50 anos depende deste hábito noturno Saúde em Foco Undo "A dumped Chinese drone is sold to a farmer, and when there is a malfunction or crop damage, the seller disappears," Shah said. The lack of trained operators has also led to uneven spraying of pesticides, which causes phytotoxicity and threatens crop yields. Because non-TC drones have not undergone efficacy tests or chemical residue checks, their use on crops could lead to violations of Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs). This risks contaminating produce and triggering export rejections, which could affect India's processed food chains and agricultural exports. According to Shah, the DGCA's Drone Rules 2021 clearly prohibit the use of non-type certified drones, and the Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has banned the import of fully built drones. However, enforcement by customs, the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence, and aviation regulators remains weak. "There is a prohibition. Customs, DRI, and DGCA must enforce it strictly," he said. The issue also extends to the misuse of govt-backed subsidy schemes like Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM), and the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF). Certified drone sellers noted that sellers of non-TC drones have been misleading farmers by using forged documentation to claim eligibility for subsidies and bank loans. When loans are rejected or drones fail to perform, farmers are left without support or recourse. The role of YouTube influencers and online dealers is worsening the problem. "There are influencers openly promoting illegal drones and enabling their sale through WhatsApp and other informal channels," a drone firm representative from Hyderabad said. These sellers often disappear after transactions, leaving buyers without service, support, or warranties. Penalties are possible under existing drone regulations, but industry insiders say enforcement remains rare. "These violations not only hurt certified players who invest heavily in R&D and training but also erode trust in the technology itself," the representative of the Hyderabad firm said.
