Formula
Other Income = Total Income - Revenue from Operations
Unit
₹ crore
In depth
Other income is where non-recurring and non-operating items live, so it deserves separate treatment from revenue in any analysis of the business. A company sitting on a large cash pile will legitimately show substantial interest income, which is genuine but should not be valued at the same multiple as operating profit. The item to watch is a one-off gain on sale of land or a subsidiary that flatters a weak year, since it will not repeat. Analysts strip other income out precisely so that operating performance can be compared year to year.
Worked example
Net profit rises from ₹80 crore to ₹140 crore, but other income rose from ₹10 crore to ₹75 crore on a land sale. Excluding it, profit fell from ₹70 crore to ₹65 crore — the opposite of the headline.
