L&T Finance Limited passed all four resolutions proposed through a postal ballot process that concluded on October 6, 2026. The approvals cover the appointment of two Whole-Time Directors, one Independent Director, and an amendment to the company's Memorandum of Association.
The voting results were scrutinized by Alwyn D'Souza & Co., who confirmed the requisite majority for each resolution. The e-voting period ran from September 7, 2026, to October 6, 2026, with votes cast exclusively through remote electronic means.
Resolution outcomes
Shareholders voted overwhelmingly in favor of the proposed changes. The promoter group, holding 1,65,25,30,125 shares, cast 100% of their votes in favor of all resolutions. Public institutional shareholders showed slightly higher dissent on the Whole-Time Director appointments compared to the Independent Director appointment.
| Resolution | Type | Votes In Favour (%) | Votes Against (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Appointment of Sachinn Joshi as WTD | Ordinary | 98.21 | 1.79 |
| Appointment of Raju Dodti as WTD | Ordinary | 98.25 | 1.75 |
| Appointment of Prashant Kumar as ID | Special | 99.97 | 0.03 |
| Amendment to MoA objects clause | Special | 100.00 | 0.00 |
What the numbers show
A distinct divergence exists between the voting patterns for executive leadership versus governance changes. While the appointment of Whole-Time Directors Sachinn Joshi and Raju Dodti faced approximately 1.75% dissent from the total votes polled, the appointment of Independent Director Prashant Kumar received near-unanimous support with only 0.03% opposition. This suggests that public shareholders, particularly institutions, were more comfortable with the independent oversight addition than with the specific executive appointments, though both categories secured overwhelming majorities well above the statutory threshold.
