In India, the financial year typically runs from April 1 to March 31. Public companies are required to publish their financial results on a quarterly basis. The quarters are defined as follows:
Q1 (First Quarter): April 1 to June 30
Q2 (Second Quarter): July 1 to September 30
Q3 (Third Quarter): October 1 to December 31
Q4 (Fourth Quarter): January 1 to March 31
Public companies in India follow a financial reporting schedule that aligns with these quarters. The exact dates for publishing quarterly results can vary among companies, but they are generally expected to release their unaudited financial statements within 45 days from the end of each quarter.
