Sarthak Global Limited reported a standalone net loss of ₹7.25 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, marking a significant improvement from the ₹33.80 lakh loss recorded in the preceding quarter ended March 31, 2026. The company’s total income from operations contracted sharply to ₹6.40 lakh, reflecting a steep decline from the ₹421.01 lakh logged in Q4FY25 and a year-on-year drop from the ₹81.88 lakh reported in Q1FY25.

The Board of Directors approved the unaudited standalone financial results at its meeting held on August 12, 2026, following recommendations from the Audit Committee. The results have been prepared in accordance with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind-AS) as prescribed under Section 133 of the Companies Act, 2013.

Financial Performance

The company operates in two primary business segments: trading of commodities and share transfer agency services. The financial data for the current and comparative periods is detailed below.

What the Numbers Show

The divergence between the revenue collapse and the narrowing loss indicates a shift in cost structure or operational scale during the quarter. While total income fell by over 98% compared to the previous quarter, the net loss reduced by approximately 78%. This suggests that fixed costs or operational expenditures did not decline proportionately with revenue, or that the nature of the transactions in Q1FY26 carried different margin profiles compared to the high-revenue, high-loss quarter of Q4FY25. The company turned from a profit position in Q1FY25 (₹41.67 lakh) to a loss in the current period, driven primarily by the drastic reduction in top-line income.

Sarthak Global Limited reported a net profit of ₹1.06 lakh for the financial year ended March 31, 2026 (FY26), a sharp decline from ₹3.00 lakh in FY25. The downturn was driven by a 27.8% fall in revenue from operations to ₹521.78 lakh and a significant contraction in other income, which slid to ₹65.34 lakh from ₹141.33 lakh. Total income consequently decreased to ₹587.12 lakh from ₹863.92 lakh in the prior year. This performance reflects broader challenges in the share transfer agency sector amid shifting market dynamics.

The Board of Directors decided not to recommend any dividend for FY26. In compliance with Regulation 34(1) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, the company submitted its 41st Annual Report to BSE Limited on August 4, 2026. The filing includes the standalone financial statements, the Board’s Report, and the Auditors’ Report. The 41st Annual General Meeting is scheduled for August 31, 2026, to be held via Video Conferencing or Other Audio Visual Means (VC/OAVM).

Financial Performance

The company’s operational metrics showed mixed trends. While finance costs reduced substantially to ₹58.94 lakh from ₹107.66 lakh, this benefit was offset by lower trading volumes in commodities and shares. The operating profit before tax and depreciation stood at ₹1.91 lakh, compared to ₹8.21 lakh in FY25. After accounting for depreciation of ₹0.27 lakh and tax expenses of ₹1.12 lakh, the bottom line contracted significantly.

Governance and Compliance Issues

The Secretarial Audit Report by M/s. Amit Preeti & Associates highlighted three key compliance observations. First, the shareholding of promoters and the promoter group is not 100% in dematerialized form, contrary to Regulation 31(2) of the SEBI Listing Regulations. Second, the company granted certain loans without charging interest, violating Section 186 of the Companies Act, 2013. Third, an incorrect AGM date was inadvertently mentioned in E-form AOC-4 XBRL and E-form MGT-7 filed for FY25 due to a clerical error.

The Board explained that promoters have been informed to dematerialize their holdings. Regarding the interest-free loans, management stated these were extended to secure business opportunities and promised to charge proper interest in future years. The clerical error in regulatory filings has been noted, with assurances of enhanced diligence going forward.

What the Numbers Show

A critical divergence exists between the company’s cost management and revenue generation. Finance costs halved from ₹107.66 lakh to ₹58.94 lakh, indicating effective debt reduction or refinancing. However, this efficiency gain was insufficient to counteract the 27.8% revenue decline. Furthermore, other income, which contributed nearly 11% of total income in FY26 compared to 16% in FY25, remains a volatile component. The reliance on non-operational income highlights the need for stabilizing core share transfer agency revenues to ensure consistent profitability.
