Beriwali Agriable LLP

  • Name and address of company:

    Plot No.1131 Kurli, Chaulsukha Kantabanji,
    Balangir KURLI, 767039.
    INDIA

An investigation was initiated by the Certification Body (CB) following concerns regarding transaction certificate (TC) applications submitted by Beriwali Agriable LLP. The findings indicated that the company had submitted TC requests for quantities significantly exceeding the documented production capacity of its subcontracted ginner, Sheel Fiber. Supporting documents provided were found to be inaccurate.

Despite being given multiple opportunities to respond, the company failed to submit credible evidence either disproving the overcapacity issue or validating Sheel Fiber's production capabilities to the CB. The CB therefore concluded that the discrepancies indicated intentional misrepresentation, constituting a serious violation of certification requirements. As a result, the CB recommended a certification ban for Beriwali Agriable LLP.

The management deliberated the matter and issued a notice to the company regarding potential certification ban. The company responded with certain observations which were then taken up with the CB. After studying the observations, the CB confirmed that no new information was provided that would justify the matter and reiterated their recommendation of a certification ban. The management thereafter decided to constitute a certification ban for a minimum period of 2 years.

An investigation was initiated by the Certification Body (CB) following irregularities observed in transaction certificate (TC) applications associated with Sheel Fibers. Evidence indicated that the volume of material linked to the issued TCs significantly exceeded the facility’s documented ginning capacity, suggesting that such quantities could not have been legitimately produced at the unit. The supporting documentation was found to be inaccurate.

Despite being given multiple opportunities to respond, the company failed to provide any credible clarification or supporting evidence to the CB. The lack of engagement and inability to account for the discrepancies raised serious concerns of intentional misrepresentation following which the CB recommended a certification ban.

The management deliberated the matter, issued a notice to the company regarding potential certification ban. The company responded with certain observations which were then taken up with the respective CB. After studying the observations, the CB confirmed that no new information was provided and reiterated their recommendation of a certification ban.

An investigation was initiated by the Certification Body (CB) after it was found that Qingdao A&M Impex Co. could have used counterfeit input transaction certificates (TCs), which was subsequently confirmed through the issuing CB.

Despite repeated requests for clarification, the company failed to explain the origin of these TCs— whether they were self-fabricated or obtained through a supplier. The organization’s lack of cooperation raised serious concerns regarding its reliability and compliance to GOTS requirements. As a result, the CB concluded that the company poses a significant risk to the integrity of the GOTS system and has recommended a certification ban.
