Palash Securities reported a standalone net profit of ₹3.61 crore for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, primarily driven by dividend income of ₹3.59 crore. However, the consolidated results show a net loss of ₹1.60 crore for the quarter, with a significant total comprehensive loss of ₹25.31 crore.

Auditors have raised serious concerns regarding MFL, citing substantial net worth erosion and a disputed Deferred Tax Asset of ₹4.51 crore.
