Key Details of Resignation

The following details outline the change in the secretarial audit function:

What This Means for Stakeholders

The resignation of a secretarial auditor is a routine governance event but requires prompt replacement to ensure continuous compliance monitoring.

The reason cited—professional commitments—suggests no irregularities or disputes were involved in the departure.

AccelerateBS India Limited shareholders approved a final dividend of ₹0.10 per equity share and the reappointment of director Ishani Kunal Shah during the company’s fourth annual general meeting held on July 28, 2026. The resolutions were passed via electronic voting through National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL), marking the completion of key governance and shareholder return actions for the financial year ended March 31, 2026.

The meeting was conducted through Video Conferencing/Other Audio-Visual Means (VC/OAVM) in compliance with Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) circulars and Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) guidelines. Keyur Dipakkumar Shah, Whole-time Director, chaired the proceedings, which lasted from 2:00 p.m. to 2:33 p.m. (IST). Six members participated in the AGM, with requisite quorum present throughout.

Resolutions Passed

Shareholders approved three ordinary resolutions during the meeting:

Ms. Ishani Kunal Shah retires by rotation and, being eligible, offered herself for reappointment. The Board recommended her reappointment to the shareholders, who subsequently approved the resolution.

Voting Process and Scrutiny

Mr. Vikas Raju Varma (Membership No.: 11046, CP No.: 27546), a Practicing Company Secretary based in Mumbai, was appointed by the Board as Scrutinizer to oversee the remote e-voting process. The e-voting facility remained open for 15 minutes after the formal closure of the meeting to allow additional participation. Results will be published on the company’s website and NSDL’s e-voting portal.

Jigyasha Jain, Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, managed the procedural aspects of the meeting on behalf of the Chairman. She confirmed that all statutory registers and documents referenced in the notice were available for inspection via email request to investors@acceleratebs.com .

What the Numbers Show

The declaration of a ₹0.10 dividend represents a 1% yield on the ₹10 face value of equity shares. While modest, this payout confirms the company’s commitment to returning capital to shareholders following the adoption of its FY26 financial statements. The virtual format ensured broad accessibility, with NSDL facilitating secure electronic voting in line with regulatory requirements under Regulation 30 and Regulation 44 of SEBI’s Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements Regulations, 2015.
