Paytm swings into black, makes Rs 123 crore net profit in Q1 of FY26
MUMBAI: One 97 Communications, the parent company of Paytm, has reported a consolidated net profit of Rs 123 crore in the June quarter as against a net loss of Rs 839 crore a year ago, boosted by strong lending business that helped it report Rs 1,918 crore in revenue, up 28%, and a tight leash on expenses. The year-ago quarter saw the company taking the full impact of the RBI direction, which came into force from mid-February 2024, to shutter its key payments business for not properly following the KYC norms and a host of other failures despite repeated warnings. Operating revenue for the quarter stood at Rs 1,918 crore, growing 28% on-year and marginally up from Rs 1,911 crore in Q4 of FY25. Total income, which includes other income, rose to Rs 2,159 crore. Contribution profit (sales revenue minus all variable costs) rose 52% to Rs 1,151 crore, with contribution margin expanding to 60%, up from 50% a year earlier. Total expenses came in at Rs 2,016 crore, 19 percent lower than Rs 2,476 crore in the year-ago period, aided by tighter control over employee and marketing spends. Net payment revenue rose 38% to Rs 529 crore, driven by an expanding base of high-quality subscription merchants and better payment processing economics, the company said in a statement Tuesday.

CBI uses image search tools to trace, arrest fugitive after 20 years in Karnataka
BENGALURU: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested Mani M Sekhar, a long-absconding proclaimed offender in a Rs 8-crore bank fraud case, nearly two decades after the crime. The central agency used advanced image search tools and analytical capabilities to track the digital footprints of the absconder, who was living under a pseudonym in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. The case was registered at Central Bureau of Investigation, Bank Security and Frauds Cell (BSFB), Bengaluru, on August 1, 2006, against Ramanujam Muthuramalingam Sekhar alias RM Sekhar, managing director, Indo Marks Pvt Ltd, and his wife Mani Sekhar, director, Indo Marks & BTC Home Products Pvt Ltd, for having 'entered into a criminal conspiracy between 2002 and 2005 and dishonestly and fraudulently cheating State Bank of India, Overseas Branch, Bengaluru, to the tune of Rs 800 lakh through the misuse of non-fund-based limits in the name of Indo Marks Pvt Ltd and its sister concerns', a CBI release said on Thursday. The agency had filed the chargesheet on December 10, 2007. 'Both the accused had failed to join the trial or respond to summons/warrants. Subsequently, they were declared proclaimed offenders on February 27, 2009,' added the Central Bureau of Investigation. Despite sustained efforts over the years to trace them, the absconding accused had remained untraceable, prompting CBI to announce a reward of Rs 50,000 each for clues to informers. While other co-accused were tried and convicted/acquitted in the case, the trial against the couple remained pending. 'The accused persons had changed their identities and never used the old KYC details. They changed their names to Krishna Kumar Gupta (for the husband) and Geetha Krishna Kumar Gupta (for the wife), their mobile numbers, emails, PAN numbers and other information, which were used before the charge sheet was filed,' the CBI stated. The use of advanced digital tools and analytical capabilities led to the identification of the accused living under changed names and identities in Indore. With photo matching levels of more than 90 per cent, the image search tools enabled accurate identification despite their assumed identities. During the operation, Central Bureau of Investigation officials discovered that RM Sekhar had died in 2008 while living under his assumed identity. However, Mani was located and arrested on July 12. She was produced before a court in the city, which remanded her in judicial custody.

CBI nabs fugitive woman from Indore after nearly two decades of chase

While other co-accused were tried and convicted and acquitted in the case, the trial against these two absconding accused remained pending," CBI's spokesperson said in a statement. The trail also went cold till now when CBI used its sophisticated image search analytics software delivering the results with almost 90 per cent accuracy followed by a covert and meticulous field verification to confirm the results, officials said. It emerged during investigation that the couple had reinvented themselves as Mr and Mrs Krishna Kumar Gupta, comfortably settling in Indore. They had abandoned all previous identifiers — names, contact details, PAN cards, and even biometric-linked records and had never used old KYC records since fleeing from Bengaluru. 'They changed their names to Krishna Kumar Gupta (husband) and Geetha Krishna Kumar Gupta (wife), their mobile numbers, emails, PAN numbers and other information which were used before the charge sheet was filed," the statement said. But using sophisticated image comparison algorithms, the CBI managed to compare old photographic records with contemporary data sources, leading to a more than 90 per cent match. This was followed by field verifications by a special operations team of the agency in Indore.
