KBS India Limited reported a net profit of ₹8.76 lakh for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, a decline from ₹17.66 lakh in the previous year. The company's board approved the audited financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026, during a meeting held on May 30, 2026. The statutory auditors, Bhuta Shah & Co LLP, issued an audit report highlighting significant emphasis of matter regarding unprovided employee benefits and unrecoverable loans from a former subsidiary.
The auditors reported that gratuity liability for employees has not been provided for as required by Ind AS 19, and the impact remains unquantified due to the absence of actuarial valuation. Additionally, a long-term loan of ₹16,65,40,533 and a current account outstanding balance of ₹8,02,444 due from KBS Capital Management Singapore Pte Ltd, an erstwhile subsidiary, remain outstanding. The subsidiary has been struck off, and no provision has been made as RBI permission for write-off is awaited, resulting in a misstatement of profit and accumulated reserves.
Revenue from operations for the year stood at ₹233.94 lakh, down from ₹236.74 lakh in FY25. Total income decreased to ₹341.71 lakh from ₹351.01 lakh in the previous year. Total expenses for the year increased to ₹329.48 lakh compared to ₹305.41 lakh in FY25. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the company reported a net loss of ₹10.04 lakh, contrasting with a net profit of ₹6.06 lakh in the same quarter of the previous year.
