Its operating scale rose 30% year-on-year, while losses remained largely flat during the period. Clear’s revenue from operations grew 30% year-on-year to Rs 272.15 crore in the last fiscal year from Rs 209.84 crore in FY24, according to its consolidated financial report sourced from the Registrar of Companies (RoC). Clear provides tax and financial solutions for businesses and consumers. Its offerings include accounts payable, e-invoicing, and invoice discounting under its finance, compliance, and supply chain clouds. For individuals, it simplifies tax filing and related services. Clear primarily generates revenue from taxation and corporate secretarial services, which contributed Rs 265 crore. The remaining Rs 3.19 crore came from platform and technical services, along with commissions earned as a distributor for mutual fund transactions. The firm also earned Rs 4.96 crore via non-operating activities, including interest income, pushing its total revenue to Rs 277.11 crore in FY25. On the expenses front, employee benefits were the largest cost, rising 10% to Rs 220.83 crore in FY25, including Rs 14.97 crore in non-cash ESOP costs.
