ITC sees marginal decline in net profit, revenue up 20%
1 2 Kolkata: ITC saw a marginal decline in net profit in the first quarter of FY26 to Rs 4,912 crore from Rs 4,917 crore in Q1FY25. Its revenue, however, saw a 20% jump from Rs 17,457 crore to Rs 20,911 crore. According to the company, the marginal decline in net profit was due to the demerger of its hotel business. Profit figures for Q1FY25 included Rs 97.5 crore from the hotels business. The conglomerate's profit would have been Rs 4,820 crore. The rise in revenue was largely due to cigarette and agri businesses as well as acquisitions. Net revenue of the cigarettes segment was up 7.7% year-on-year, with segment profit before interest and tax (PBIT) was up 3.7% year-on-year. "As seen in the past, stability in taxes on cigarettes, backed by deterrent actions by enforcement agencies, enabled volume recovery for the legal cigarette industry from illicit trade, leading to higher demand for Indian tobaccos and bolstering revenue to the exchequer from the tobacco sector," the company said. Revenue in the agri business segment revenue was up 39% year-on-year, driven by trading opportunities in bulk commodities and exports of leaf tobacco; segment PBIT was up 22% year-on-year. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is this legal?

The notebooks industry continues to operate under deflationary conditions due to low-priced paper imports and saw opportunistic play by local/regional competition. The beverages category was impacted by unseasonal rains during the quarter. Staples, biscuits, dairy, premium personal wash, homecare and agarbattis drove growth.

Jane Street under I-T scanner in India; probe hits roadblock over non-cooperation
The Income Tax Department 's ongoing verification proceedings against US proprietary trading firm Jane Street have hit a hurdle, with the company allegedly refusing to cooperate with investigators, officials familiar with the matter said. The tax department had sought access to data and servers used by Jane Street, but the firm refused to cooperate claiming that the servers were located outside India, these officials told ET.

The books of accounts are also maintained outside India, despite legal requirements under Indian company law to maintain them domestically," said a senior tax official, requesting anonymity. "The company has only skeleton staff in India, and they too have not been cooperating," the official added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Georgetown: Unsold Furniture Liquidation 2024 (Prices May Surprise You) Unsold Furniture | Search Ads Learn More Undo Jane Street did not respond to an email seeking comment till press time Friday. Given the lack of cooperation, the department on Thursday carried out a survey action at the Mumbai offices of Nuvama Wealth Management , which is Jane Street's on-ground trading partner in India. "Certain documents and electronic evidence have been seized and are being examined," a senior official said. Live Events In a filing with stock exchanges, Nuvama confirmed the department's survey and said it is "extending full co-operation with the authorities". The income tax department is also examining possible violations of the General Anti-Avoidance Rules (GAAR) and permanent establishment regulations by the company. Under GAAR, the tax department can disregard any arrangement lacking "commercial substance" or structured primarily to avoid tax. It is also probing whether the firm has created a fixed place of business in India, which gives rise to tax liabilities. This development comes in the wake of the regulatory scrutiny of the company's operations in India. The Securities and Exchange Board of India on July 3 barred Jane Street from accessing capital markets, alleging that it made illegal gains of Rs 4,843.5 crore by manipulating trades in Bank Nifty and Nifty Index Options. The regulator also directed it to deposit the gains into an interest-bearing escrow account. Sebi lifted the trading ban on July 21 after Jane Street deposited Rs 4,840 crore in an escrow account while clarifying that this action would not affect or limit its legal rights or remedies. The regulator allowed the firm to resume trading, but under close monitoring. According to Sebi, its investigation found that while Jane Street's Indian entity executed intraday trades in the cash segment, its offshore arms-particularly in Singapore and Hong Kong-booked large profits through index options. Jane Street has denied allegations of market manipulation.
