RITES Q4 Results: Navratna PSU posts 5% YoY rise in PAT to ₹133 crore, declares 26.50% dividend. Details here
Its revenue from operations dipped over 4% to ₹ 615 crore in the quarter under review, compared with ₹ 643 crore posted in the same period a year-ago. Year-on-year decrease in revenue is attributed to lesser revenue from quality assurance, a downtick in turnkey and almost no exports, the company said.
Segment-wise, the company saw an increase in revenue from consultancy during the March 2025 quarter. It stood at ₹ 362 crore, compared with ₹ 335 crore posted in the same quarter last year. However, revenue from turnkey construction projects declined to ₹ 202 crore from ₹ 259 crore on a YoY basis.
EBITDA in the March 2025 quarter stood at ₹ 189 crore, up by 6.2% YoY, with margins of 30.8%.
The company secured the highest-ever order book of ₹ 8,877 crore, with 150-plus orders worth ₹ 1,418 crore bagged in Q4.
Rahul Mithal, Chairman and Managing Director, RITES Limited, said, 'Concerted efforts this quarter in execution of high-margin projects has helped us achieve our objective of coming as close as possible to our previous financial year's performance, in line with our business strategy for this year.'
On the growth prospects, Mithal said, 'With an all-time high order book of ₹ 8877 crore and maintaining the trend of 'one order a day', we have built a strong platform for the year ahead, aiming for appreciable growth in our revenue.'
The railway company's board also recommended a final dividend, along with the Q4 results. The PSU firm declared a dividend of ₹ 2.65 per share (i.e. 26.50%) on equity shares of face value of ₹ 10 for the financial year 2024-25.
The dividend payment is subject to approval by shareholders in the ensuing 51st Annual General Meeting of the Company.
"Upon approval of shareholders, the dividend declared will be paid within thirty (30) days of declaration, subject to deduction of applicable Tax at Source as per the provisions of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and rules framed thereunder," RITES said.
RITES share price jumped sharply following the Q4 earnings announcement. PSU railway stock hit the day's high of ₹ 248.90, rising as much as 6.75% in intraday trade today. The stock finally settled at ₹ 243.40, up 4.40%.
In the last one year, however, RITES share price has declined 27%. On a five year basis, its returns stand at 110%.

Income Tax Returns: What is ITR-U, who can file it and who cannot? From process to penalty - here's all you need to know
Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has notified ITR-U (updated), a form that allows taxpayers to rectify errors or omissions and file your previous Income Tax Return. ITR (U) was introduced under Section 139(8A) of the Income Tax Act. Here is everything you need to know about ITR-U. To encourage voluntary compliance, the Government of India introduced the ITR-U in the Finance Act 2022 and amended the guidelines via Finance Act 2025. With ITR-U, taxpayers can correct tax filing errors, add omitted income, or rectify misreporting. The provisions of ITR-U fall under section 139(8A) of the Income Tax Act. Unlike the traditional deadline of July 31, the updated return's deadline is March 31. For instance, March 31 2025 was the last date to file updated returns for FY 2021-2022. You can file the ITR-U if you have missed the due date of original return, revised return and belated returns. Any person who has made a mistake or omitted certain income details in their original income tax return, revised return or belated return is eligible to file ITR-U. However, not everyone is eligible to file ITR-U. These includes when a taxpayer: Has already filed updated return Wants to file nil return/loss return. Wants to claim or enhance the refund amount Updates return results in lower tax liability Has search proceeding u/s 132 initiated against him/her Got their books, documents or assets seized by the Income Tax Department Has an assessment/reassessment/revision/re-computation pending or completed. The time limit for filing ITR-U is 48 months from the end of the applicable assessment year. This means that for the AY 2025-26, the last date to file ITR-U is 31st March 2030. Similarly, for AY 2024-25, the last date to file ITR-U is 31st March 2029. It must be noted that an additional tax needs to be paid when you file ITR-U. For ITRs filed within 12 months from the end of the relevant AY, the additional tax is 25%, for 24 months it is 50%, for 36 months it is 70% and for 48 months it is 70%. Thus, one must remember that an updated return is meant to pay a tax which you missed paying while filing the actual return, and not to claim an income tax refund.

ITR Filing: Online gaming income? Here's how to report income tax returns for FY25
ITR filing: As the government moves to ban online money-based games in India, with both houses of the parliament passing the 'Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill 2025', any income or loss generated from such games in FY25 must be adjusted while filing income tax returns. Any income generated through online gaming is treated as 'Income from Other Sources' when filing income tax returns. Sections 115BBJ and 194BA of the Income-tax Act apply to income earned on different gaming platforms. Under Section 115BBJ, income tax on net winnings for the previous fiscal year is levied at 30 per cent. Section 194BA, on the other hand, deals with tax deducted at source (TDS) on net gains credited to the taxpayer's gaming account at the end of the financial year. 'If you've earned winnings through online gaming platforms during FY 2024‑25, these must be reported under 'Income from Other Sources' in your Income Tax Return. Tax law mandates that all online gaming winnings are taxable at a flat rate of 30% under Section 115BBJ, with TDS deducted at the same rate under Section 194BA of the Income Tax Act, 1961,' according to CA Shefali Mundra, tax expert at Clear Tax. 'Any TDS deducted will appear in Form 26AS (via a Form 16A) and must be reflected under the Schedule TDS section in your ITR. Importantly, losses from gaming can be adjusted against the income from online gaming,' Mundra added. Income from other sources is a residual category that includes all types of income not classified under the four main heads of income. Nonetheless, some earnings are consistently taxed under this category, such as winnings from lotteries, gifts, and interest on enhanced compensation, according to the Central Board for Direct Taxation(CBDT). 'The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025' seeks to tighten online gaming regulations by banning the operation, facilitation, and advertising of online money games. This move aims to address increasing concerns over addiction, money laundering, and financial fraud associated with these applications. The bill was passed in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday.
