• Physical Members: Must submit Folio Number, shareholder name, scanned share certificates (front and back), self-attested PAN card, and Aadhar Card copies via email.
• Demat Members: Must update their email ID and mobile number with their respective Depository Participant (DP), as this is mandatory for joining the virtual meeting and casting votes.

Punjab Communications Limited appointed Sh. Jaspreet Singh, IAS, as its Managing Director, succeeding Sh. Harsuhinder Pal Singh Brar, IAS. The appointment, formalized during the company's 241st Board Meeting held on October 15, 2026, is effective from September 23, 2026.

The change in management follows a nomination by the company’s holding entity, Punjab Information and Communication Technology Corporation Ltd. (Punjab Infotech). Punjab Infotech nominated Singh to the Board via a letter dated September 22, 2026, while simultaneously withdrawing the name of Harsuhinder Pal Singh Brar, who ceased to be Managing Director on the same effective date.

Leadership transition details

The transition involves two senior Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officers. Jaspreet Singh is currently serving as Director, Industries and Commerce, Punjab, and as Managing Director of Punjab Infotech. His previous roles include Special Secretary and Mission Director for Food Processing in the Punjab Government, State Transport Commissioner, and Deputy Commissioner in Bathinda, Jalandhar, and Mansa.

Harsuhinder Pal Singh Brar’s cessation was due to the withdrawal of his nomination by the holding company. The company confirmed that the newly appointed director is not debarred from holding office by any SEBI order or other authority.

The appointment was disclosed under Regulation 30 read with Para A of Part A of Schedule III of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
