Aditya Birla Fashion & Retail Limited has informed shareholders about the opening of a special window for the re-lodgement of transfer requests of physical shares. This initiative follows a Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) circular dated January 30, 2026, which facilitates investors who missed previous deadlines to update their shareholdings.

Special Window Details

The special window is open for a period of one year, commencing on February 5, 2026, and concluding on February 4, 2027. This facility is specifically designed for transfer requests that were originally submitted before April 1, 2019, but were returned or rejected due to documentation deficiencies. SEBI had previously discontinued the transfer of physical shares from April 1, 2019, but provided this subsequent opportunity to assist investors.

Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for re-lodgement under this special window, shareholders must meet specific conditions regarding the execution date of the transfer deed and the availability of the original security certificate. The company has outlined the following scenarios to determine eligibility:

The company clarified that cases involving disputes between the transferor and transferee, or securities that have been transferred to the Investor Education and Protection Fund (IEPF), will not be considered under this special window.

Processing and Lock-in Period

All shares re-lodged during this period will be processed through the transfer-cum-demat route. Consequently, the securities will be issued only in dematerialised (demat) form after the transfer is completed. Shareholders should note that these securities will be subject to a lock-in period of one year from the date of dematerialisation.

Shareholder Action Required

Shareholders holding physical shares are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by submitting the requisite documents to the company's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent (RTA), MUFG Intime India Private Limited. The company has also advised shareholders to update their KYC details and convert their physical shareholdings into dematerialised form to eliminate risks associated with physical certificates.

Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited has informed the exchanges that its Board of Directors will meet on Monday, May 25, 2026. The agenda for the meeting includes the consideration and approval of the audited standalone and consolidated financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026.

The call is set to take place on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, at 16:00 hrs IST. Senior management will present the quarterly results, followed by a question-and-answer session.

Trading Window Closure

In accordance with regulatory norms, the trading window for dealing in the company's securities will remain closed for all designated persons and their immediate relatives. The window will stay shut until 48 hours from the declaration of the financial results.

Earnings Conference Call Details

Investors and analysts can participate in the conference call to gain insights into the company's performance for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026. The investor presentation will be made available on the company's website post the announcement of the results.
