Mangal Electrical Industries has issued a corrigendum to the notice for its 18th Annual General Meeting (AGM), scheduled for August 26, 2026, to rectify inadvertent errors in the appointment of its secretarial auditor and a director’s profile. The correction extends the tenure of M/s SKMG & Co. from a single year to five consecutive financial years, aligning with SEBI regulations, and clarifies the current employment status of proposed independent director Ms. Neha Rathi. This update ensures accurate governance disclosures before shareholders vote on key resolutions via remote e-voting.
The corrigendum, filed with BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited on August 7, 2026, addresses two specific items in the AGM notice and Annual Report for FY25. The primary change relates to Item No. 5 of the notice, which concerns the appointment of the Secretarial Auditor. Originally, the resolution sought approval for M/s SKMG & Co., Practicing Company Secretaries, for the Financial Year 2026-27 alone. The revised resolution now proposes their appointment for a term of five consecutive financial years, commencing from FY26-27 and ending with FY30-31. This extension complies with the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, which permit longer tenures for secretarial auditors under specific conditions.
Auditor Appointment Correction
The revision impacts the remuneration structure and oversight continuity for the company. While the original notice specified a fee of ₹2,31,000 plus taxes for FY27, the new resolution leaves the exact remuneration for the five-year term to be determined by the Board of Directors. The appointment remains subject to shareholder approval at the AGM. The company also retains M/s Maharwal & Associates as Cost Auditors for FY27 at a fee of ₹50,000 plus applicable taxes, a detail that remains unchanged from the initial notice.
| Auditor Role | Firm Name | Tenure | Remuneration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Secretarial Auditor | M/s SKMG & Co. | 5 Years (FY26-27 to FY30-31) | To be determined by Board |
| Cost Auditor | M/s Maharwal & Associates | FY27 | ₹50,000 + Taxes |
Director Profile Rectification
The second correction addresses a typographical error in the "Board of Directors" section of the Annual Report for FY25. The initial document incorrectly stated that Ms. Neha Rathi, who is up for appointment as an Independent Director, was the Company Secretary & Compliance Officer of Mangal Electrical Industries Limited. The corrigendum clarifies that she currently serves as the Company Secretary & Compliance Officer at Raghav Productivity Enhancers Limited. This distinction is material for assessing her independence and potential conflicts of interest, as required under corporate governance norms.
Ms. Rathi’s appointment, if approved, will be for a five-year term commencing July 29, 2026. She brings over 10 years of experience in corporate governance and SEBI regulations. The correction ensures that shareholders have accurate information regarding her professional background before voting on her reappointment.
