P/E, P/B and ROE are inconsistent: ROE x P/E = 7.78 but P/B = 17.21 (> 25% apart); one input is likely on a different basis. Our computed roe (13.26%) diverges from BSE's own published figure (-35.68%) by more than 100%. BSE's figure is a different, BSE-computed number (not necessarily TTM, standalone-only) — treat as a cross-check/fallback signal, not proof either figure is wrong.
