The full read
Patspin's debt crisis has shifted from disclosure to enforcement. Central Bank of India issued a SARFAESI possession notice on July 7 after the company defaulted on working capital loans. Total defaults of ₹29.33 crore exceed Patspin's entire market capitalisation of ₹22 crore. Auditors had already flagged a negative net worth of ₹9,643 lakh and a going concern risk for FY26. The bank now has the legal authority to take physical possession of secured assets and auction them — a process that, for a nano-cap with negative equity, effectively ends any residual value for shareholders. Equity recovery: near zero.
