IIFL Finance declares interim dividend of ₹4/share; Board approves Q3 FY26 results
IIFL Finance declared an interim dividend of ₹4 per share for FY25-26, with January 29, 2026, as the record date. The company approved Q3 FY26 results. Mr. Kailash Gaonkar was appointed CISO effective January 23, 2026, replacing Mr. Sameer Gadve. The company also noted procedural directions from the Income Tax Department regarding account audits.
The interim dividend and the approval of financial results are positive for shareholders. The appointment of a new CISO is a management update. The Income Tax Department's direction, while procedural, could potentially lead to future scrutiny, thus warranting a medium impact assessment.
The announcement includes a mix of routine financial results, dividend declaration, management changes, and regulatory notices. While the dividend and results are positive, the income tax department's direction introduces a neutral element due to its procedural nature and lack of immediate financial impact.
IIFL Finance Limited announced the outcome of its Board Meeting held on January 22, 2026. The Board approved the Unaudited Consolidated and Standalone Financial Results for the quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2025. An interim dividend of ₹4 per equity share (face value ₹2) for the Financial Year 2025-26 was declared, with January 29, 2026, fixed as the record date. The dividend will be paid on or before February 20, 2026.
In terms of management changes, Mr. Sameer Gadve stepped down as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) effective January 22, 2026, due to an internal movement. Following this, Mr. Kailash Gaonkar has been appointed as the new CISO, designated as Senior Management Personnel, effective January 23, 2026.
The company also noted receipt of orders from the Goods and Services Tax Departments of Bihar and Gujarat. Additionally, the Income Tax Department has directed the company to get its accounts audited for a specified block period under Section 142(2A) of the Income Tax Act, appointing a Special Auditor. The company stated this direction is procedural in nature, with no adjudication against it and no ascertainable financial impact at this stage. The financial results, along with the limited review report and other required disclosures, have been uploaded on the websites of the stock exchanges and the company.
