Bengal & Assam Company Limited disclosed the dissolution of Vikrampati Singhania HUF and an inter-se transfer of 2,99,815 equity shares (2.63% of total capital) among its members on September 29, 2026.
The transfer was executed through an off-market trade without any consideration. Consequently, the HUF's shareholding in the company reduced to nil, leading to its cessation as a constituent of the promoter group.
Details of Share Transfer
The disclosure was made under Regulation 29(2) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011. The entire holding of the HUF was distributed between two individuals who were members of the family arrangement.
| Recipient | Shares Transferred | % of Total Capital |
|---|---|---|
| Vikrampati Singhania | 2,84,815 | 2.50% |
| Avani Singhania | 15,000 | 0.13% |
| Total | 2,99,815 | 2.63% |
Impact on Promoter Group Structure
Prior to this transaction, Vikrampati Singhania, acting as the Karta of the HUF, held these shares on behalf of the family entity. Following the dissolution and subsequent transfer, the specific legal entity known as Vikrampati Singhania HUF no longer holds any equity in the company.
The filing explicitly states that due to this nil holding, Vikrampati Singhania HUF ceases to be a constituent of the promoter group of Bengal & Assam Company Limited. However, both Vikrampati Singhania and Avani Singhania remain part of the promoter group in their individual capacities.
Post-Transfer Holdings
The individual holdings of the acquirers increased following the receipt of shares from the dissolved HUF. Vikrampati Singhania’s personal holding rose from 63,602 shares to 3,48,417 shares, while Avani Singhania acquired 15,000 shares from a previous nil position.
| Acquirer | Pre-Transfer Holding | Post-Transfer Holding |
|---|---|---|
| Vikrampati Singhania | 63,602 (0.56%) | 3,48,417 (3.05%) |
| Avani Singhania | NIL | 15,000 (0.13%) |
What the Numbers Show
The transaction represents a restructuring of ownership within the promoter family rather than a change in ultimate beneficial ownership or control. By moving shares from a collective Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) structure to individual names, the company simplifies its promoter group composition. The total number of shares held by the two individuals combined post-transfer is 3,63,417, which is exactly equal to the sum of their pre-transfer holdings plus the shares received from the HUF, confirming no net change in the aggregate promoter holding percentage.
