Raw Edge Industrial Solutions Limited has scheduled its 22nd Annual General Meeting for August 24, 2026, seeking shareholder approval for a suite of corporate actions, most notably omnibus approvals for related-party transactions (RPTs) with promoters and their families valued at up to ₹25 crore each. The meeting, conducted via Video Conferencing or Other Audio-Visual Means (VC/OAVM), aims to secure funding flexibility through unsecured loans while simultaneously winding down its existing employee stock option scheme.
The Board of Directors is seeking consent for nine separate RPT resolutions under Regulation 23 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. These transactions involve Mr. Bimalkumar Rajkumar Bansal, Managing Director; his sons, Mr. Sourabh Bimalkumar Bansal and Mr. Siddharth Bimalkumar Bansal; and other promoter group members including Mrs. Bala Bimalkumar Bansal, Mrs. Shalini Siddharth Bansal, Mrs. Shweta Sourabh Bansal, and their respective Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs). Each resolution permits transactions up to ₹25 crore for a period of 12 months, extending until the next AGM in calendar year 2027.
| Related Party | Transaction Type | Max Value (₹ Crore) | Interest Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bimalkumar Rajkumar Bansal | Unsecured Loans, Remuneration | 25 | 12% p.a. |
| Sourabh Bimalkumar Bansal | Unsecured Loans | 25 | 12% p.a. |
| Siddharth Bimalkumar Bansal | Unsecured Loans | 25 | 12% p.a. |
| Bala Bimalkumar Bansal | Unsecured Loans, Services | 25 | 12% p.a. |
| Shalini Siddharth Bansal | Unsecured Loans | 25 | 12% p.a. |
| Shweta Sourabh Bansal | Unsecured Loans | 25 | 12% p.a. |
| Bimalkumar Rajkumar Bansal (HUF) | Unsecured Loans | 25 | 12% p.a. |
| Sourabh Bimalkumar Bansal (HUF) | Unsecured Loans | 25 | 12% p.a. |
| Siddharth Bimalkumar Bansal (HUF) | Unsecured Loans | 25 | 12% p.a. |
The proposed unsecured loans are repayable on demand and carry an interest rate of 12% per annum. Management justifies these arrangements as providing readily available funds for working capital and business expansion without creating charges on company assets. The Audit Committee approved these transactions on July 30, 2026, noting that they exceed the materiality threshold defined by recent SEBI amendments effective December 19, 2025.
In addition to the RPTs, shareholders will vote on the cancellation of the ‘Raw Edge Industrial Solutions Limited - Employee Stock Option Plan 2023’. The Board decided to terminate the scheme after previously cancelling grants of 79,500 options due to missing regulatory approvals. No equity shares have been allotted under the plan, meaning no dilution has occurred. The cancellation takes effect from July 30, 2026, extinguishing all remaining rights and obligations under the scheme.
Governance and Director Appointments
The AGM agenda includes ordinary business items such as the adoption of financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026. Shareholders will also re-appoint Mr. Bimalkumar Rajkumar Bansal as Managing Director, liable to retire by rotation. His remuneration remains unchanged at ₹2,00,000 per month. Furthermore, a special resolution seeks to re-appoint Mrs. Rachana Agarwal as an Independent Director for a second term of five years, from August 26, 2026, to August 25, 2031. Mrs. Agarwal, a Chartered Accountant with over 15 years of experience, serves on the Audit and Stakeholders Relationship Committees.
Remote e-voting facilities will be available from August 21, 2026, at 9:00 A.M. to August 23, 2026, at 5:00 P.M., via National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL). Voting rights are determined based on shareholding as of the cut-off date, Monday, August 17, 2026. Physical attendance is dispensed with, and proxy appointments are not available for this virtual meeting.
