Real Touch Finance Limited appointed Mrs. Mathangi G as its Chief Financial Officer (CFO) with effect from October 9, 2026. The appointment follows the recommendation of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and was approved by the Board of Directors during a meeting held on the same date.

In addition to the CFO appointment, the Board approved the identification of Mrs. Viji Shankaren and Mr. Karuppana Gounder Rajendran as proposed directors. These appointments are contingent upon obtaining prior approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). The company will file applications for these directorships via the RBI's PRAVAAH portal.

Governance and regulatory compliance

The proposal to appoint two additional directors is driven by Chapter III of the Reserve Bank of India (Non-Banking Financial Companies - Governance) Directions, 2025. This regulation mandates specific governance structures for NBFCs, requiring prior RBI approval for such appointments. Once the RBI grants approval, the company will seek formal consent from the Board and shareholders within the prescribed period.

The disclosure regarding these potential directorships will be made to stock exchanges only after the appointments become effective. This process adheres to Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, read with relevant SEBI circulars.

Profile of the new CFO

Mrs. Mathangi G brings approximately 10 years of experience in accounting, finance, banking, and financial services. Her professional background includes expertise in credit appraisal, loan processing, financial analysis, and monitoring of loan portfolios. She also possesses knowledge of credit assessment, lending operations, asset quality, and financial management.

Her experience in NBFC-related activities positions her to manage the finance functions of the company effectively. The company confirmed that she is not related to any existing Director of Real Touch Finance.

What the numbers show

While no financial performance metrics were disclosed in this intimation, the simultaneous move to strengthen the C-suite with a new CFO and propose two new directors signals a concerted effort to align corporate governance with updated RBI NBFC guidelines. The requirement for RBI approval on directorships highlights the regulatory scrutiny faced by NBFCs under the 2025 Directions, making governance compliance a critical operational priority alongside financial management.
