Procal Electronics India Limited concluded its 34th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on September 29, 2026, passing both agenda items with requisite majorities. However, the reappointment of statutory auditor M/S SSKV & Associates drew notable dissent from public shareholders, who cast 1,554 votes against the resolution.
The meeting, conducted via Video Conferencing (VC) and Other Audio-Visual Means (OAVM), saw participation from 17 members. The first resolution, regarding the adoption of the audited balance sheet and profit and loss account for FY26, passed with 99.9998% of polled votes in favour. Only one vote was recorded against this item.
Voting on Financial Statements
The adoption of financial documents received near-unanimous support from both promoter and public categories. Promoters held a significant voting block, casting 532,200 votes in favour. Public non-institutional investors participated with 29,634 votes, of which only one was cast against the resolution.

| Adoption of FS | Public (Non-Inst.) | 29,634 | 29,633 | 1 | 99.99% |

Auditor Reappointment Dissent
The second resolution sought the reappointment of M/S SSKV & Associates, Chartered Accountants (FRN 13590114), as statutory auditors. While promoters voted unanimously in favour, public non-institutional shareholders showed divergence. Of the 29,634 votes polled by this group, 1,554 votes were cast against the appointment, representing 5.24% of the public votes polled.
Despite this dissent, the overall majority remained secure due to the promoter block's weight. The total votes in favour stood at 560,280, while total votes against were 1,554, resulting in an overall approval rate of 99.72%.
| Resolution | Category | Votes Polled | In Favour | Against | % In Favour |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auditor Reappt. | Promoter Group | 532,200 | 532,200 | 0 | 100.00% |
| Auditor Reappt. | Public (Non-Inst.) | 29,634 | 28,080 | 1,554 | 94.76% |
| Total | - | 561,834 | 560,280 | 1,554 | 99.72% |
What the Numbers Show
A clear divergence exists between promoter alignment and public sentiment regarding the statutory auditor. While promoters supported the reappointment with 100% of their votes, public non-institutional shareholders registered a 5.24% dissent rate. This contrasts sharply with the adoption of financial statements, where public dissent was negligible at 0.0034%. The data suggests that while the broader governance and financial reporting were accepted, a specific segment of the minority shareholder base had reservations about the continuity of the current audit firm.
Will the 5.24% dissent rate among public shareholders trigger a formal inquiry by SEBI into the independence or performance of M/S SSKV & Associates?
How might the notable public opposition to the auditor reappointment impact Procal Electronics' corporate governance rating and institutional investor confidence in the coming fiscal year?
Is there any indication that the dissenting minority shareholders plan to escalate their concerns through class action lawsuits or further regulatory complaints regarding audit quality?
