The notices sat unread in a spam folder until June 2. The combined tax bill is 4.6x the company's FY26 net profit. The notices sat unread in a spam folder until June 2.

What’s new

  • Two show-cause notices allege tax shortfalls, ITC reversals, and non-compliance for FY23 and FY24.
  • The combined demand of ₹5.50 cr includes ₹4.99 cr in tax/cess and ₹51.17 lakh in penalties and interest.
  • The notices went undiscovered for nearly a month because they were sent to a corporate spam folder.

Why it matters

The demand equals 4.6 years of the company's current earnings power. For a nano-cap with ₹188 cr market capitalization and recent mark-to-market losses pressuring net worth, a payout of this size would be painful. The month-long disclosure delay, blamed on a spam filter, raises governance questions ahead of the formal contest.

What we’re watching

  • The company's formal response to the tax authorities and the strength of its contest.
  • Any impact on the balance sheet, especially given net worth is already under pressure from investment losses.
  • Whether the disclosure lapse triggers any regulatory scrutiny from the exchanges.

The full read

Lakshmi Electrical Control Systems is staring at a ₹5.50 crore tax bill that dwarfs its annual earnings. Two show-cause notices from the GST authorities allege shortfalls and improper credits for FY23 and FY24, with a total claim of ₹4.99 cr in tax and ₹51.17 lakh in penalties. The bill is 4.6x the company's FY26 net profit of ₹1.18 cr and eats into more than 10% of its net worth, which is already shrinking from investment losses. The bigger problem may be how the notices were handled. They sat in a spam folder for nearly a month before anyone noticed on June 2. For a nano-cap with a ₹188 cr market capitalization, that's a governance red flag on top of a tax one.

Dividend cut to ₹3 per share.

What’s new

  • Full-year net profit fell to ₹118.70 lakhs from ₹347.23 lakhs, a 66% drop.
  • Q4 net profit of ₹118.73 lakhs versus a loss of ₹105.33 lakhs in Q3.
  • Dividend cut to ₹3 per share from higher prior payout; new statutory auditor proposed.

Why it matters

A ₹29-crore mark-to-market loss on investments wiped out a year's earnings. The dividend cut signals management's caution, and the proposed auditor change adds governance scrutiny. The Q4 profit looks like a temporary rebound, not a trend.

What we’re watching

  • Who the new statutory auditor is and whether the change is routine or prompted.
  • Next quarter's investment portfolio performance — if MTM losses persist, earnings will stay under pressure.
  • Whether the dividend cut signals a shift in capital allocation policy.

The full read

Lakshmi Electrical reported a Q4 net profit of ₹118.73 lakhs, reversing a loss of ₹105.33 lakhs in the prior quarter. But the headline is the full year: net profit collapsed to ₹118.70 lakhs from ₹347.23 lakhs — a 66% decline — entirely due to a massive ₹2,917.96 lakhs mark-to-market loss on investments. That comprehensive loss is nearly 25 times the net profit, meaning the company's earnings are now hostage to its investment book. The board responded by cutting the dividend to ₹3 per share from a higher prior payout, and proposing a new statutory auditor. Q4's profit is a relief, but the investment losses are the real story — and they aren't going away until the portfolio recovers.
