What profit after tax did NSIC report for the financial year 2025-26?

  1. A.Rs 84 crore
  2. B.Rs 159 crore
  3. C.Rs 376 crore
  4. D.Rs 1,205 crore

Correct answer

B. Rs 159 crore

Explanation

The correct answer is Rs 159 crore. While presenting the dividend, the Chairman-cum-Managing Director set out the corporation's results for the year: revenue of Rs 3,767 crore and profit after tax of Rs 159 crore, describing both as robust growth over the previous financial year. Out of that profit the corporation paid a dividend of Rs 47.76 crore to the Government of India. The Union Minister for MSME, in accepting it, praised the corporation for empowering small enterprises through its integrated support services and the government schemes it implements. Options A and C are wrong because neither figure was given as the profit after tax for the year. Option D is wrong because such an amount would be far above the profit actually reported and closer to a fraction of the revenue figure of Rs 3,767 crore.
