Typhoon Financial Services' record carries a clean audit history, but the substance behind it is heavily concentrated in the promoter family. The company's own filings show a recurring pattern of related-party loans without repayment terms, repeated certifications of zero financial indebtedness that sit uneasily against disclosed liabilities, and a board where every seat is held by the family. The statutory auditor rotation proceeded on schedule, but the secretarial auditor resigned with immediate effect barely a year into its term.
Key findings
- The company certifies zero financial indebtedness while its own statements show liabilities due within a year
Major- Typhoon disclosed total financial indebtedness of INR 0 crore with no outstanding defaults as of 12 Aug 2026, 12 Nov 2025, 27 May 2025, and 11 Feb 2025. Yet the FY2025-26 standalone financial statements state that the Company's financial liabilities are due for maturity within 1 year. The FY2020-21 statements disclosed "Other Loans outstanding 1.18 crore, none overdue" under the RBI NBFC Directions. - Promoter group holds 66.91% and voted all shares in favour
Major- Following the death of founder and CMD Ashok Chhajer on 6 July 2025, his son Rishab Chhajer was appointed director on 26 July 2025 and elevated to Managing Director for five years from 16 January 2026. At the 29 September 2025 AGM, all five resolutions passed with 20,56,262 votes in favour (100.00%) and none against, with the promoter group voting its entire 20,07,800 shares in favour of every item. No director has received any remuneration, sitting fees, commission or stock options in any year from FY2019-20 through FY2025-26. - Secretarial auditor resigned a year into its term; statutory auditor rotation proceeded on schedule
Major- M/s. Nishant Pandya & Associates, appointed as Secretarial Auditors for FY2025-26 to FY2029-30 at the 35th AGM on 29 September 2025, resigned with immediate effect citing personal reasons, and M/s. Kashyap R. Mehta & Partners was appointed in the casual vacancy. M/s. Sahib S. Choudhary & Co. retired at the conclusion of the 35th AGM, and M/s. Virendra Surana & Co. was appointed for five years from the 35th to the 40th AGM, approved with 100% shareholder votes. - Revenue on credit-impaired assets is recognised only after the asset's carrying value is fully repaid
Minor- Typhoon recognises revenue on credit-impaired financial assets by crediting amounts realised on resolution to the asset until its value becomes nil, with amounts realised thereafter credited to P&L and any shortfall debited as a loss. The same policy was in place in the prior year.
What to watch
- Managing Director elevation vote. Shareholder approval of Mr. Rishab Chhajer's five-year term as Managing Director, to be voted at the 36th AGM noticed 22 August 2026.
- Secretarial auditor appointment. M/s. Kashyap R. Mehta & Partners' five-year appointment, proposed at the Board meeting on 29 July 2026, is subject to shareholder approval at the 36th AGM.
- Resignation rationale. Whether any regulatory query follows M/s. Nishant Pandya & Associates' immediate-effect resignation announced 6 May 2026, and whether the "personal reasons" cited are elaborated.
- Disputed dues details. The Note 26 details and disputed statutory dues table figures in the FY2025-26 annual report, referenced but not legible in the auditor's report.
- Next indebtedness disclosure. The Q2 FY2026-27 financial indebtedness disclosure, following the pattern of 12 Aug 2026, 12 Nov 2025, 27 May 2025, and 11 Feb 2025.
Bottom line: This is a disclosed and audited record, but the disclosures themselves carry the risk. The core issue is concentration: the promoter family controls the board, the votes, and the related-party lending, while the company's own statements describe liabilities that its certifications say do not exist. The accounting policies on investments and credit-impaired assets are conservative in form but opaque in effect. Watch the 36th AGM votes and the next indebtedness disclosure for whether the pattern holds.
