Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Jerash Holdings, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and two non-wholly owned subsidiaries.

Non-wholly owned subsidiaries are entities that the reporting parent entity does not own equity interests in full. Noncontrolling interest is evaluated with a depiction of the portion of a non-wholly owned subsidiary’s net assets, net income, and net comprehensive income that is attributable to holders of equity-classified ownership interests other than the reporting parent entity. As mentioned in Note 1, the Company holds 51% of equity interest in J&B and Jerash Newtech through its wholly owned subsidiary, Treasure Success. The Company consolidates J&B and Jerash Newtech and reports noncontrolling interest to reflect the portion of their equity that is not attributable to the Company as the controlling shareholder. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, noncontrolling interest was $142,583 and $52,781, respectively.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company’s cash consists of cash on hand and cash deposited in financial institutions. The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with an original maturity of three months or less from the original date of purchase to be cash equivalents. All cash and cash equivalents are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use.

Restricted Cash

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of cash used as security deposits to obtain credit facilities from a bank and to secure customs clearance, labor import requirements, and other requirements of local regulations. The Company is required to keep certain amounts on deposit that are subject to withdrawal restrictions. These security deposits at the bank are refundable only when the bank facilities are terminated. The restricted cash is classified as a current asset if the Company intends to terminate these bank facilities within one year, and as a non-current asset if otherwise.

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original invoiced amount less an estimated allowance for credit loss. The Company usually grants extended payment terms to customers with good credit standing and determines the adequacy of credit losses based on the historical level of credit loss, current economic trends, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the future cash flows.

Inventories

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventories include the cost of raw materials, freight, direct labor, and related production overhead. The cost of inventories is determined using the First-in, First-out method. The Company periodically reviews its inventories for excess or slow-moving items and makes provisions as necessary to properly reflect inventory value.

Advances to Suppliers, Net

Advances to Suppliers, Net

Advances to suppliers consist of balances paid to suppliers for services or materials purchased that have not been provided or received. Advances to suppliers for services and materials are short-term in nature. Advances to suppliers are reviewed periodically to determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. The Company considers the assets to be impaired if the performance of the suppliers becomes doubtful. At each reporting date, the Company generally determines the adequacy of allowance for impairment by evaluating all available information and then records specific allowances for those advances based on the specific facts and circumstances.

Credit Loss

Credit Loss

The Company maintains expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss methodology. The expected credit loss impairment model requires the entity to recognize its estimate of expected credit losses for affected financial assets using an allowance for credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.

The Company’s accounts receivable and other receivables, which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets line items in the consolidated balance sheets, are within the scope of ASC Topic 326. The Company measures expected credit losses of account receivables and other receivables, on a collective basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company makes estimates of expected credit and collectability trends for the allowance for credit losses based upon assessment of various factors, including historical experience, the age of the receivables, creditworthiness of the customers and other debtors, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect its ability to collect from the customers and other debtors. The Company also provides specific provisions for allowance when facts and circumstances indicate that the receivable is unlikely to be collected.

Expected credit losses are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.

Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net

Property, Plant, and Equipment, Net

Property, plant, and equipment are recorded at cost, reduced by accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense related to property, plant, and equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets, or in the case of leasehold improvements, the shorter of the initial lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements. The useful life and depreciation method are reviewed periodically to ensure that the method and period of depreciation are consistent with the expected pattern of economic benefits from items of property, plant, and equipment. The estimated useful lives of depreciation and amortization of the principal classes of assets are as follows:

   Useful life
Land  Infinite
Property and buildings  15-25 years
Equipment and machinery  3-5 years
Office and electronic equipment  3-5 years
Automobiles  5 years
Leasehold improvements  Lesser of useful life and lease term

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not materially extend the useful lives of the assets, are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that substantially extend the useful life of assets are capitalized. The cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization of assets retired or sold are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may not be recoverable. Factors that may indicate potential impairment include a significant underperformance relative to the historical or projected future operating results or a significant negative industry or economic trend. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset. If impairment is indicated, a loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset. The fair value is estimated based on the discounted future cash flows or comparable market values, if available. The Company did not record any impairment loss during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Goodwill

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets of acquired companies. Goodwill is not amortized. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the carrying amount of goodwill was $499,282. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or in interim periods if indicators of potential impairment exist, based on the one reporting unit. The Company has the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test. When performing the quantitative impairment test, the Company compares the fair value of its only reporting unit with the carrying amounts. The Company would recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The Company concluded that no impairment of its goodwill occurred for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from product sales, which consist of sales of the Company’s customized ready-made outerwear for large brand-name retailers. The Company considers purchase orders to be a contract with a customer. Contracts with customers are considered to be short-term when the time between order confirmation and satisfaction of the performance obligations is equal to or less than one year. Virtually all of the Company’s contracts are short-term. The Company has minimal incremental costs of obtaining a contract, which are expensed when incurred. The Company recognizes revenue for the transfer of promised goods to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods. The Company typically satisfies its performance obligations in contracts with customers upon shipment of the goods. Generally, payment is due from customers within 14 to 150 days of the invoice date. The contracts do not have significant financing components. Shipping and handling costs associated with outbound freight from Jordan export dock are not an obligation of the Company. Returns and allowances are not a significant aspect of the revenue recognition process as historically they have been immaterial.

The Company also derives revenue from rendering cutting and making services to other apparel vendors who subcontract orders to the Company. Revenue is recognized when the service is rendered. All of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation satisfied at a point in time and the transaction price is stated in the contract, usually as a price per unit. All estimates are based on the Company’s historical experience, complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, and the Company’s best judgment at the time the estimate is made. Historically, sales returns have not significantly impacted the Company’s revenue.

The Company applies the “distinct” guidance in ASC 606-10-25-19 through ASC 606-10-25-22 to identify the specified goods or services. The Company evaluates the indicators in ASC 606-10-55-39 along with all relevant facts and circumstances in relation to our assessment. As the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good and service, the Company has inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a customer, or after transfer of control to the customer; and the Company has discretion in establishing the prices for the specified goods or service, the Company concluded that it is the principal of the sales transactions and revenue should be recognized on a gross basis.

The Company does not have any contract assets since the Company recognizes accounts receivable and revenue for the transfer of promised goods to customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods. The Company has an unconditional right to consideration when the Company has satisfied its performance obligation and payment to the accounts receivable from customers is not contingent on a future event. The Company had contract liabilities of $241,357 and $487,004 as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, $241,357 deferred revenue was expected to be recognized within fiscal year 2027.

Segment

Segment

The Company has one revenue generating reportable geographic segment under ASC Topic 280 “Segment Reporting” and derives its sales primarily from its sales of customized ready-made outerwear. Chief Operational Decision Makers (“CODM”), including Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, are making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. CODM reviews operation results on the consolidated revenue, gross profit, selling, general, and administrative expenses, interest expenses, stock-based compensation expense, and net income or loss regularly. In selling, general, and administration expense, CODM reviews staff payroll and other related expenses, inventory export and related costs, depreciation, and others major items. The Company believes disaggregation of revenue by geographic region best depicts the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of its revenue and cash flows (see “Note 15—Segment Reporting”).

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and Handling

Proceeds collected from customers for shipping and handling costs are included in revenue. Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and are included in operating expenses, as a part of selling, general, and administrative expenses. Total shipping and handling expenses were $2,783,046 and $2,991,097 for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Income and Sales Taxes

Income and Sales Taxes

The Company is subject to income taxes on an entity basis on income arising in or derived from the tax jurisdiction in which each entity is domiciled. Jerash Holdings and Jerash Supplies are incorporated/formed in the State of Delaware and are subject to federal income tax in the United States of America. Treasure Success, Ever Winland, J&B, and Jerash Newtech are registered in Hong Kong and are subject to profits tax in Hong Kong. Jiangmen Treasure Success is incorporated in China and is subject to corporate income tax in China. Jerash Garments, Jerash Embroidery, Chinese Garments, Paramount, Jerash The First, MK Garments, and Kawkab Venus are subject to income tax in Jordan, unless an exemption is granted. In accordance with Development Zone law, Jerash Garments and its subsidiaries were subject to corporate income tax in Jordan at a rate of 20% plus a 1% social contribution effective from January 1, 2024. Effective from October 1, 2025, Jerash Garments has been granted tax concession at a corporate income tax rate 10% plus a 1% social contribution in accordance with the Jordanian Income Tax Law.

Jerash Garments and its subsidiaries are subject to local sales tax of 16% on purchases. Jerash Garments was granted a sales tax exemption from the Jordanian Investment Commission for the period from June 1, 2015 to June 1, 2018 that allowed Jerash Garments to make purchases with no sales tax charge. The exemption has been extended to February 5, 2027.

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the Company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Under this accounting standard, any changes in tax rates and the impact on deferred income taxes are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) in the period when the new rates are enacted. A valuation allowance is recognized if it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 740-10-50, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which provides clarification related to the process associated with accounting for uncertain tax positions recognized in the financial statements. Audit periods remain open for review until the statute of limitations has passed. The completion of review or the expiration of the statute of limitations for a given audit period could result in an adjustment to the Company’s liability for income taxes. Any such adjustment could be material to the Company’s results of operations for any given quarterly or annual period based, in part, upon the results of operations for the given period. As of the date of this annual report, the Company is current on all corporate, federal, and state tax returns. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, uncertain tax provision was $nil and $175,290, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation

The reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar (“US$” or “$”). The Company uses JOD in its Jordan subsidiaries, HKD in Treasure Success, Ever Winland, J&B, and Jerash Newtech, and Chinese Yuan (“CNY”) in Jiangmen Treasure Success as the functional currency of each above-mentioned entity. The assets and liabilities of the Company have been translated into US$ using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, equity accounts have been translated at historical rates, and revenue and expenses have been translated into US$ using average exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the periods. Therefore, amounts related to assets and liabilities reported on the consolidated statements of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets. Translation adjustments arising from the use of different exchange rates from period to period are included as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) as incurred, and the total amount of transaction gains and losses were immaterial as of the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

The value of JOD against US$ and other currencies may fluctuate and is affected by, among other things, changes in Jordan’s political and economic conditions. Any significant revaluation of JOD, HKD, and CNY may materially affect the Company’s financial condition in terms of US$ reporting. The following table outlines the currency exchange rates that were used in creating the consolidated financial statements in this report:

   March 31,
2026
  March 31,
2025
Period-end spot rate  US$1=JOD0.7090  US$1=JOD0.7090
   US$1=HKD7.8002  US$1=HKD7.7790
   US$1=CNY6.9033  US$1=CNY7.2572
Average rate  US$1=JOD0.7090  US$1=JOD0.7090
   US$1=HKD7.8002  US$1=HKD7.7925
   US$1=CNY7.1016  US$1=CNY7.2150
Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company measures compensation expense for stock-based awards based on the awards’ initial grant-date fair value. The estimated grant-date fair value of the award is recognized as expense over the requisite service period using the straight-line method.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes model. This model is affected by the Company’s stock price on the date of the grant as well as assumptions regarding a number of variables. These variables include the expected term of the option, expected risk-free rates of return, the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock, and expected dividend yield, each of which is more fully described below. The assumptions for the expected term and expected volatility are the two assumptions that significantly affect the grant date fair value.

  Expected Term: the expected term of a warrant or a stock option is the period of time that the warrant or a stock option is expected to be outstanding.
  Risk-free Interest Rate: the Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes model on the implied yield at the grant date of the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issued with an equivalent term to the stock-based award being valued. Where the expected term of a stock-based award does not correspond with the term for which a zero-coupon interest rate is quoted, the Company uses the nearest interest rate from the available maturities.
  Expected Stock Price Volatility: the Company utilizes the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock over the same period of time as the life of the warrant or stock option. When the Company’s own stock volatility information is unavailable for such period of time, the Company utilizes comparable public company volatility.
  Dividend Yield: Stock-based compensation awards granted prior to November 2018 assumed no dividend yield, while any subsequent stock-based compensation awards will be valued using the anticipated dividend yield.
Earnings or Loss per Share

Earnings or Loss per Share

The Company computes earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“ASC 260”). ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (for instance, convertible securities, options, warrants, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS (See “Note 14–Earnings (Loss) per Share”).

Comprehensive Income or Loss

Comprehensive Income or Loss

Comprehensive income or loss consists of two components, net income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss. The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting from translation of the financial statements expressed in JOD or HKD or CNY to US$ is reported in other comprehensive income or loss in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 825-10 requires certain disclosures regarding the fair value of financial instruments. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

  Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
  Level 2 - Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
  Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The Company considers the recorded value of its financial assets and liabilities, which consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, credit facilities, accounts payable, accrued expenses, income tax payables, other payables and operating lease liabilities to approximate the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities at March 31, 2026 and 2025 based upon the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

Concentrations and Credit Risk

Concentrations and Credit Risk

Credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, $5,236,963 and $4,883,906 of the Company’s cash were on deposit at financial institutions in Jordan, where a maximum amount of JOD 50,000 (approximately $71,000) bank deposits are insured by each member bank under Jordan Deposit Insurance Corporation Law in the event of bank failure. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, $344,673 and $246,394 of the Company’s cash were on deposit at financial institutions in China. Cash maintained in banks within China of less than CNY 0.5 million (equivalent to approximately $72,429) per bank are covered by “deposit insurance regulation” promulgated by the State Council of the People’s Republic of China. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, $6,826,388 and $9,871,227 of the Company’s cash were on deposit at financial institutions in Hong Kong, which are insured by the Hong Kong Deposit Protection Board subject to certain limitations. While management believes that these financial institutions are of high credit quality, it also continually monitors their creditworthiness. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, $41,090 and $48,274 of the Company’s cash were on deposit in the United States and are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000.

Accounts receivable are typically unsecured and derived from revenue earned from customers, and therefore are exposed to credit risk. The risk is mitigated by the Company’s assessment of its customers’ creditworthiness and its ongoing monitoring of outstanding balances.

Customer and vendor concentration risk

The Company’s sales are made primarily in the United States. Its operating results could be adversely affected by U.S. government policies on importing business, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and changes in local market conditions. The Company has a concentration of its revenue and purchases with specific customers and suppliers. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, two end-customers accounted for 52% and 14%, and 65% and 12% of the Company’s total revenue, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, three end-customers accounted for 29%, 26% and 12%, respectively, of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance. As of March 31, 2025, four end-customers accounted for 24%, 23%, 16%, and 11%, respectively, of the Company’s total accounts receivable balance.

For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company purchased approximately 13% and 10% of its total purchase in garments and raw materials from one major supplier. As of March 31, 2026, accounts payable to the Company’s three major suppliers accounted for 21%, 18%, and 12% of the total accounts payable balance, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, accounts payable to the Company’s three major suppliers accounted for 24%, 12%, and 11% of the total accounts payable balance, respectively.

Risks and Uncertainties

Risks and Uncertainties

The principal operations of the Company are located in Jordan. Accordingly, the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations may be influenced by political, economic, and legal environments in Jordan, as well as by the general state of the Jordanian economy. The Company’s operations in Jordan are subject to special considerations and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America. These include risks associated with, among others, the political, economic, and legal environment, foreign currency exchange, and the recent conflicts between Israel and Hamas and between Israel and Iran. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political, regulatory, and social conditions in Jordan. Although the Company has not experienced losses from these situations and believes that it is in compliance with existing laws and regulations including its organization and structure disclosed in Note 1, this may not be indicative of future results.

Since the inception of the turmoil in the Middle East, the Company has been closely monitoring the situation and keeping its customers informed. Production is ongoing as usual, with no changes to customer orders or commitments, and the Company is currently mainly using the port in Aqaba, Jordan for import and export. In order to provide flexibility, the Company has also been using the Port of Jebel Ali in the United Arab Emirates as an alternative route for raw material import since December 2023. However, in the event of any potential impact on the ports, the Company has prepared a contingency plan, approved by its major customers, to temporarily relocate production to alternate regions.
