RLF Limited approved the allotment of 13,00,000 equity shares on a preferential basis at ₹10.50 per share. The Board of Directors sanctioned the move on September 2, 2026, converting outstanding unsecured loans from promoters into equity.

The allotment follows a special resolution passed by shareholders at the Extra-Ordinary General Meeting held on July 17, 2026. BSE Limited granted in-principle approval on August 27, 2026. The shares rank pari passu with existing equity shares and will be listed subject to regulatory approvals.

Allotment Details

The company allotted shares to two individuals from the promoter group: Ashish Khanna and Aditya Khanna. Each received 6,50,000 shares. The total consideration amounts to ₹1,36,50,000, representing the conversion of unsecured loans rather than fresh cash inflow.

Impact on Shareholding

Consequent to the allotment, the promoter group’s aggregate stake rose from 34.68% to 42.44%. Ashish Khanna’s individual holding increased from 17.34% to 21.22%, while Aditya Khanna’s stake moved from 17.34% to 21.22%. The transaction is classified as a related-party transaction under the Companies Act, 2013.

The paid-up equity share capital increased from ₹9,64,34,600 (96,43,460 shares) to ₹10,94,34,600 (1,09,43,460 shares). Each share has a face value of ₹10, with a premium of ₹0.50 per share included in the issue price.

Other Board Approvals

During the same meeting, the board appointed M/s. Mayuri Sinha & Co. as the Secretarial Auditor and M/s. Raj Anirudh & Associates as the Internal Auditor for the financial year 2026-27. The Board also approved the Board’s Report and Annual Report for the financial year ended March 31, 2026.

Additionally, the board approved the notice for the 46th Annual General Meeting (AGM) and appointed M/s. Mayuri Sinha & Co. as the Scrutinizer for the remote e-voting process.

What the Numbers Show

The conversion of debt into equity strengthens the balance sheet by eliminating outstanding unsecured liabilities without impacting cash reserves. The significant increase in promoter stake consolidates control within the founding family, raising their combined holding by nearly 8 percentage points in a single transaction.

RLF Limited reported a net profit of ₹881.75 lakh for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, marking a sharp reversal from the ₹24.14 lakh loss posted in the previous quarter. The company’s Board of Directors approved the standalone unaudited financial results on August 14, 2026.

The profitability shift was not operational but stemmed from a significant non-recurring item. The company recorded a gain on revaluation of land amounting to ₹1,187.91 lakh (gross) or ₹879.05 lakh (net of tax), classified under other comprehensive income. This revaluation was based on an assessment by an independent external expert, with management noting that the land parcel may fall under green belt or road widening areas.

Operational Performance

Excluding the revaluation gain, the company’s core operations remained weak. Revenue from operations dropped to ₹3.32 lakh in Q1FY27, down significantly from ₹12.40 lakh in the same quarter last year. Total revenue, which includes other income, stood at ₹23.43 lakh, compared to ₹20.67 lakh in Q1FY26.

Other income contributed ₹20.11 lakh to the total revenue, up from ₹8.27 lakh a year ago. However, the profit before tax from continuing operations was just ₹2.70 lakh, indicating that the underlying business generated minimal earnings before the accounting adjustment.

Auditor Observations and Regulatory Notes

The independent auditor’s review report highlighted several areas of concern that did not modify the opinion but drew attention to specific disclosures:

• FEMA Compliance: Amounts receivable from certain debtors totaling USD 29,296.47 are outstanding beyond permissible time limits under the Foreign Exchange Management Act. The company is filing for condonation of delay with the competent authority.
• Statutory Liabilities: The company has defaulted on payment of TDS amounting to ₹0.85 lakh, outstanding for over two years. No provision for interest and penalty has been recorded.
• Interest Income/Expense Omissions: Interest income of approximately ₹0.47 lakh from loans provided to group companies and interest expense of approximately ₹1.30 lakh on borrowings from group companies and key management personnel were not booked during the quarter, despite agreements specifying an interest rate of 9.25% per annum.

What the Numbers Show

The financial results reveal a stark divergence between operational performance and reported profitability. While the headline net profit shows a massive turnaround, this is entirely attributable to a one-time accounting gain on land revaluation rather than improved business fundamentals. In fact, operating revenue declined by over 70% year-on-year, and the profit before tax from continuing operations remains negligible at ₹2.70 lakh. Furthermore, the omission of interest income and expense related to group transactions suggests potential understatement of both other income and finance costs, warranting closer scrutiny of the true economic position.
