Business Match Services (India) Private Limited, a promoter in Centrum Capital Limited , submitted revised disclosures to the stock exchanges on July 21, 2026, to rectify errors in previous filings regarding share encumbrances. The revision addresses discrepancies in the reported number of shares in promoter holding already encumbered and the post-event holding of encumbered shares. The filing was made in compliance with regulation 31(1) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011.

The correction became necessary because the creation of a pledge over 5,00,000 equity shares in favour of KRChoksey Financial Services Private Limited was inadvertently reported with an incorrect date in the disclosure dated June 12, 2026. The revised filing confirms that this pledge was actually created on June 4, 2026, rather than June 3, 2026. The updated disclosures provide a comprehensive view of the promoter's encumbered shareholding following these transactions.

Details of Encumbrance Transactions

The revised disclosures outline a series of pledge releases and creations between June 3 and June 23, 2026. On June 3, the promoter released 62,30,000 shares due to loan repayment, reducing the encumbered holding to 4,12,50,000 shares. Subsequently, several pledges were created citing market price fluctuations, increasing the encumbered stake. By June 10, the total encumbered shares stood at 4,43,50,000.

A significant release occurred on June 23, 2026, involving 30,35,000 shares released in favour of Nidhi Castings and Alloys Private Limited. This transaction reduced the encumbered holding to 4,13,15,000 shares. The following table summarizes the key transactions reported in the revised filing.

Recent Pledge Creation

Further activity was reported on July 10, 2026, involving the creation of a fresh pledge. Business Match Services created a pledge on 23,00,000 shares, representing 0.47% of the total share capital, in favour of KRChoksey Financial Services Pvt Ltd. This transaction was undertaken regarding a fresh loan and increased the total post-event holding of encumbered shares to 4,36,15,000, or 8.96% of the total share capital. The promoter's total holding in Centrum Capital Limited remains 13,44,99,041 shares, constituting 27.63% of the total share capital.

Centrum Capital Limited has filed an updated Annual Report for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, with both the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited. The updated submission, dated July 20, 2026, was necessitated by the inadvertent omission of the Secretarial Audit Report of Centrum Financial Services Limited — a material subsidiary of the Company — from the originally filed Annual Report submitted on July 17, 2026. The Company clarified that the revision is limited solely to the inclusion of this Secretarial Audit Report and has no impact on the Financial Statements, the Notice of the 48th Annual General Meeting (AGM), or any other disclosures contained in the Annual Report.
