In a filing to BSE Thursday, Eros said, “In reference to intimation made by the company to the stock exchanges on June 5, 2019, regarding CARE D ratings assigned, we would like to clarify that this is on account of a delay in servicing of bank loans for the month of April 2019 and May 2019 and will be cleared within the next seven working days.”

Furthermore, the company would like to clarify that our utilisation is less then Rs 550 crore as compared to Rs 750 crore facilities assessed by the rating agency as per the bank’s sanctioned letters, it added.
