CARE Ratings Limited, the monitoring agency for Physicswallah's Rs. 3,100 crore IPO (November 2025), submitted its Q4 FY26 report. The company utilized Rs. 481.91 crore during the quarter, bringing total utilization to Rs. 767.59 crore with Rs. 2,332.41 crore still unutilized. No deviation from stated objects was reported. Key spending included Rs. 42.92 crore on lease payments, Rs. 303.39 crore on general corporate purposes (employee costs, professional fees, GST), and Rs. 23.34 crore on marketing. However, capital expenditure on new offline centers (Rs. 17.35 crore vs. planned Rs. 140.44 crore) and marketing spend were significantly below FY26 estimates. Xylem and Utkarsh subsidiary investments saw nil utilization this quarter. Unutilized funds are deployed in fixed deposits earning 3.5-6.8% returns. A notable risk disclosed: an income tax demand of Rs. 263.34 crore for AY23 was raised in March 2026 regarding investor investments being treated as taxable income, which the company plans to appeal.
The report shows slower-than-expected deployment of IPO proceeds toward offline expansion and marketing, which could delay growth catalysts. However, no material deviation from fund utilization objectives provides reassurance. The Rs. 263.34 crore tax demand adds contingent risk but management believes it has strong grounds to appeal. Investors should monitor quarterly progress on center expansion and subsidiary integration.
