Appointment Details

The intimation was filed under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, read with Schedule III. It also references SEBI Circular No. HO/49/14/14(7)2025-CFD-POD2/I/3762/2026 dated January 30, 2026.

Rishabh Aneja, a director at Stellar Capital Services with DIN 02127744, signed the disclosure. The company’s registered office is located in Gurugram, while its corporate office operates from New Delhi.

Auditor Profile

Stellar Capital Services clarified the delay in filing the resignation of Independent Director Kalpnath Patel, effective August 22, 2026. The company attributed the late disclosure to an inadvertent lapse during a transition in the office of the Company Secretary.

The firm filed a clarification letter with BSE Limited on September 1, 2026, addressing a discrepancy remark regarding the failure to inform the exchange within 24 hours of the resignation's effective date. The original cessation was disclosed on August 31, 2026, under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015.

Resignation Details

Kalpnath Patel tendered his resignation due to personal and professional commitments requiring greater time and attention. He confirmed there were no other material reasons for his departure. The board acknowledged his resignation letter dated August 22, 2026.

Clarification on Filing Delay

In its response to the BSE, Stellar Capital Services stated that the delay was neither intentional nor deliberate. The company cited the transition in the Company Secretary’s office, including the handover of records and pending compliance matters, as the primary cause. A communication gap during this period, coupled with intervening festival and non-working days, further contributed to the delay.

The company noted that as per Part A of Schedule III of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015, listed entities must disclose an independent director’s resignation letter along with detailed reasons within seven days of it coming into effect. The disclosure was made on August 31, 2026, which falls within this seven-day window from the August 22 effective date.

Stellar Capital Services has strengthened its internal compliance mechanisms to ensure timely filings in the future. Rishabh Aneja, a director at the company, signed the clarification letter dated September 2, 2026.
