Sera Investments & Finance India Ltd has filed its 41st Annual Report for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, alongside the notice for its upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM). The Board of Directors approved a final dividend of ₹0.10 per equity share of face value ₹2 each for FY26.

The company reported a standalone profit after tax of ₹531.39 crore for FY26, a significant increase from ₹26.83 crore in FY25. Consolidated profit after tax stood at ₹529.05 crore, compared to ₹25.29 crore in the previous year. Revenue from operations surged to ₹676.75 crore on a standalone basis, up from ₹115.89 crore in FY25.

Financial Performance

Total expenses on a standalone basis were ₹48.12 crore, down from ₹87.75 crore in FY25, largely due to a sharp decline in impairment on financial instruments to ₹4.93 crore from ₹52.80 crore. Finance costs decreased to ₹13.67 crore from ₹17.81 crore.
