L.G. Balakrishnan & Bros Limited filed revised standalone and consolidated audited financial results for the year ended March 31, 2026, under Regulation 33, following the identification of an inadvertent typographical error in the exceptional item figures reported in the PDF version of the results submitted to the exchanges. The company confirmed that the underlying financial figures remain unchanged, and the revision pertains solely to the correction of the exceptional item breakdown in the notes. The statutory auditors, M/s. Suri & Co., expressed an unmodified audit opinion on the financial results.
Exceptional Item Correction
Upon identification of the error, the company submitted a revised filing dated May 4, 2026, with the corrected exceptional item breakdown. The exceptional item for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026, is presented as follows:
| Particulars: | Quarter Ended (Rs. in Lakhs) | Year Ended (Rs. in Lakhs) |
|---|---|---|
| Subsidy Received | 184.72 | 1,502.86 |
| Statutory Impact of New Labour Codes | (81.01) | (1,242.62) |
| Net Exceptional Item | 103.71 | 260.24 |
Effective from November 21, 2025, the Government of India consolidated multiple existing labour laws into four Labour Codes. Under IndAS 19 and ICAI guidance, changes to employee benefit plans arising from legislative amendment require immediate recognition of past service cost in the statement of profit and loss. The New Labour Codes resulted in an estimated one-time increase in provision for employee benefits of Rs. 1,242.62 lakhs as per actuarial valuation, which the company has presented as an exceptional item given its materiality and non-recurring nature.
