The meeting, conducted via Video Conferencing or Other Audio-Visual Means (VC/OAVM), will also seek shareholder approval for the appointment of three new directors, including two independent directors, marking a significant shift in the company’s board composition following recent departures.

The filing with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, discloses that net receipts from operations declined to ₹151.33 lakh in FY26 from ₹214.13 lakh in FY25. Despite the revenue contraction, the company maintained a robust capital adequacy ratio of 49.40%, well above the Reserve Bank of India’s minimum requirement of 15% for Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs). Gross Non-Performing Assets (NPA) stood at 2.26% of total assets, while Net NPA was contained at 0.46%.

The remote e-voting period begins on Friday, August 21, 2026, and ends on Sunday, August 23, 2026. The record date for determining voting rights is Monday, August 17, 2026.

Additionally, shareholders will vote on the appointment of Mr. Saideep Rajendrakumar Agarwal as a Non-Executive Non-Independent Director. These appointments follow the cessation of Mr. Vijaypratap Talukdar Singh as an Independent Director on June 28, 2026, upon completion of his term, and the non-reappointment of Mr. Rakesh Anil Bissa in September 2025. Mrs. Durriya Hozef Darukhanawala, who retires by rotation, has offered herself for reappointment.

Financial Performance Overview

The company’s total income for FY26 was ₹151.40 lakh, against total expenditure of ₹103.73 lakh. Profit before tax stood at ₹47.67 lakh. The board did not recommend any dividend for equity shareholders, opting instead to deploy profits back into the business. Preference share dividend of ₹4.09 lakh was provided. The company redeemed 1,005,500 Non-Convertible Cumulative Redeemable Preference Shares during the year, aggregating to a nominal value of ₹1,00.55 lakh.

What the Numbers Show

The decline in revenue from operations reflects broader industry normalization in the NBFC sector, yet the company’s profitability remained intact due to controlled expenditure. Finance costs decreased to ₹50.97 lakh from ₹56.29 lakh in the previous year, contributing to margin preservation. The high capital adequacy ratio of 49.40% indicates a strong buffer against credit risks, although the concentration in hire-purchase financing exposes the firm to sector-specific cyclical risks. The absence of public deposits and reliance on corporate deposits and director loans underscores a conservative funding strategy.
