CARE Ratings Limited, the monitoring agency for Physicswallah's Rs. 3,100 crore IPO (November 2025), submitted its Q4 FY26 report. The company deployed Rs. 481.91 crore during the quarter, bringing cumulative utilization to Rs. 767.59 crore out of Rs. 3,100 crore raised. The largest deployment during Q4 was Rs. 303.39 crore towards general corporate purposes (employee benefits, professional fees, GST). Smaller amounts went to lease payments (Rs. 42.92 crore), marketing (Rs. 23.34 crore), offline center fit-outs (Rs. 17.35 crore), server/cloud infrastructure (Rs. 15.12 crore), and offer-related expenses (Rs. 79.79 crore). Subsidiaries Xylem and Utkarsh saw nil utilization in Q4. No deviations from the offer document objects were reported. The remaining unutilized amount of Rs. 2,332.41 crore is parked primarily in fixed deposits (Rs. 2,263 crore across multiple FDs). The report notes a pending income tax demand of Rs. 263.34 crore for AY23 related to treatment of investor funds as taxable income, which the company disputes.
The IPO proceeds are being deployed as planned with no deviations reported, which is reassuring for investors. However, the heavy concentration of spending on general corporate purposes (Rs. 303.39 crore of Rs. 481.91 crore in Q4) and the large idle cash balance (Rs. 2,332 crore) warrant monitoring. The ongoing Rs. 263.34 crore tax demand adds regulatory risk, though management claims strong grounds for appeal.
