Five-Star Business Finance Limited announced that Anand Raghavan (DIN: 00243485) has ceased to be an Independent Director effective from the close of business hours on July 27, 2026. The departure marks the end of a decade-long tenure, as Raghavan completed his second consecutive term of five years, reaching the maximum permissible limit for independent directors under Indian corporate governance norms. This routine compliance action ensures adherence to SEBI regulations regarding director tenure caps.

The company disclosed the change pursuant to Regulation 30 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The filing was submitted to both the National Stock Exchange of India Limited and BSE Limited. Vigneshkumar SM, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer, signed the communication, which was digitally dated July 27, 2026. The disclosure also included information required by the SEBI Master Circular dated January 30, 2026.

Tenure Details

Raghavan’s exit is a statutory requirement rather than a voluntary resignation or removal. Independent directors in listed Indian companies are permitted to serve for up to two consecutive terms of five years each. Upon completing this period, they must step down from the board. While they remain eligible for re-appointment after a cooling-off period of three financial years, such re-appointment requires shareholder approval. In this specific disclosure, no appointment or re-appointment was involved.

Regulatory Compliance

The filing confirmed that the reason for the change was the cessation of tenure consequent to the completion of the term. The company stated that there were no relationships between directors to disclose in this context, as the filing pertained solely to the cessation of tenure. The disclosure was hosted on the company’s website at https://fivestargroup.in/compliances/ .
