Esquire Money Guarantees has scheduled its 41st Annual General Meeting (AGM) for September 23, 2026. The meeting will be held at the company’s registered office in Mumbai at 4:00 pm to transact ordinary business.

The Board of Directors approved the annual report on August 29, 2026. The primary agenda includes the adoption of audited financial statements for FY26 and the re-appointment of Mr. Peeyush Sethia as Executive Director, who retires by rotation.

Financial Performance

The company posted a net loss of ₹56.37 lakh for FY26, a significant increase from the ₹3.00 lakh loss recorded in FY25. Total revenue remained nearly flat at ₹8.89 lakh, while expenses surged to ₹65.25 lakh, driven primarily by a ₹45.94 lakh penalty imposed by BSE/SEBI.

Operational income saw minimal growth, rising from ₹8.33 lakh in FY25 to ₹8.78 lakh in FY26. However, this was overshadowed by a sharp rise in other expenses, which jumped from ₹7.56 lakh to ₹60.79 lakh. The bulk of this increase stemmed from regulatory fines.

Balance Sheet and Assets

As of March 31, 2026, non-current investments stood at ₹323.19 lakh, down from ₹397.79 lakh in the previous year. Current assets totaled ₹98.16 lakh, comprising sundry debtors of ₹34.80 lakh, short-term loans and advances of ₹56.06 lakh, and cash equivalents of ₹5.30 lakh.

Total shareholders’ funds decreased to ₹418.47 lakh from ₹474.84 lakh, reflecting the accumulated deficit. Reserves and surplus stood at ₹197.97 lakh, supported by a securities premium account of ₹392.00 lakh, partially offset by a profit and loss deficit of ₹194.03 lakh.

Corporate Governance and AGM Details

Mr. Aakash Goel has been appointed as the scrutinizer for the event. The Board also noted changes in key managerial personnel, including the appointment of Ms. Priyanka Gupta as Company Secretary and Compliance Officer in September 2025. Mr. Sethia resigned as CFO in July 2026, with Mr. Manoj Chander Pandey assuming the role alongside his position as Managing Director.

No dividend was recommended for FY26.
