Central Depository Services Limited (CDSL) posted a mixed Q4 FY26: revenue rose 17.1% to Rs 262.85 crore, but net profit fell 20% to Rs 80.22 crore. Despite the profitability pressure, the company crossed 18 crore demat accounts. CDSL also declared a Rs 12.75 per share dividend, even as full-year net profit dropped 14%.
A Bombay High Court decision involving a widow’s case against CDSL may have wider fallout for investors. The ruling could allow many client claims tied to broker defaults involving major depositories CDSL and NSDL. If leveraged, wronged account holders may find new legal pathways to seek restitution, potentially reshaping how such failures are handled in India’s market infrastructure.
