specified companies who are accepting public deposits in such companies auditor has to comment whether these companies are having MIGR rating from credit rating agency
credit rating agencies have specified MIGR rating, that means if deposits have this minimum rating then only investor should think of investing in them.
Below is example for the same, so if they dont have MIGR and still raising deposits, then auditor will have to report
