Fino Payments Bank has initiated a postal ballot process to seek shareholder ratification for the re-appointment of Rishi Gupta as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (MD & CEO) for the period from May 02, 2026 to May 21, 2026. The resolution follows Mr. Gupta's voluntary early retirement effective May 21, 2026, and is necessitated by regulatory requirements to approve his tenure for the interim period. The Board recommends passing the ordinary resolution to ensure compliance with the Companies Act, 2013, and SEBI Listing Regulations.
The re-appointment is subject to the existing terms and conditions, with remuneration as approved by the Board and shareholders. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had previously approved Mr. Gupta's re-appointment for a three-year term starting May 02, 2026. However, following his voluntary early retirement, the Bank is now seeking ratification for the specific period he served before his cessation of office.
