IL&FS Investment Managers Limited reported a standalone net profit of ₹4,791.30 lakh for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, reversing the net loss of ₹217.71 lakh reported in the previous year. The Board of Directors approved the audited standalone financial results at its meeting held on May 29, 2026. The board has recommended a final dividend of ₹0.70 per equity share, amounting to ₹2,198.23 lakhs, subject to shareholder approval.
The statutory auditors, KKC & Associates LLP, issued a qualified opinion on the standalone financial results. The qualification arises from an ongoing investigation by the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) against Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services Limited, the ultimate holding company. The auditors stated they are unable to comment on the consequential impact of this investigation upon its conclusion. This qualification has appeared for the eighth time.
A material uncertainty relating to going concern was identified, noting that the extended term of existing funds managed by the company ended during the year, resulting in no fee income. However, management believes the company's liquid assets are sufficient to meet obligations over the next 12 months. The auditors noted that while a material uncertainty exists, their opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
The company stated that the audited consolidated financial statements for FY26 could not be finalized due to the non-receipt of audit reports from IL&FS Investment Advisors LLC and its step-down subsidiary, Saffron Investment Trust. The Audit Committee and Board are scheduled to consider and approve the consolidated results at a separate meeting proposed for May 30, 2026.
