- Regulatory Compliance: The company operates under multiple regulators (SEBI, NSE, BSE, MCX, AMFI, NSDL) and has received past penalties including a SEBI adjudication order of ₹4 lakh and NSE inspection penalties of ₹37,500 and ₹1,000.
- Reliance on Authorised Persons: Revenue through authorised persons represented 53.91% of total revenue from operations in FY26, with attrition rates reaching up to 20.69%. The company is legally liable for acts of its 181 authorised persons.
- Negative Operating Cash Flows: The company reported negative net cash flows from operating activities of ₹1,970.37 lakhs in FY26 and ₹3,186.22 lakhs in FY25.
- MTF Risks: The MTF book stood at ₹2,096.26 lakhs as of March 31, 2026, exposing the company to client default risk, collateral value deterioration, and regulatory non-compliance under SEBI's revised MTF framework.
