Viji Finance Limited has announced the implementation of SEBI's special window facility for transfer and dematerialization of physical securities, following a circular issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India on January 30, 2026. The initiative aims to ease investment processes for shareholders holding physical securities that were transacted before the mandatory dematerialization deadline.

Special Window Details and Timeline

The special window facility will remain operational for one year, commencing from February 5, 2026, and concluding on February 4, 2027. This extended timeframe provides shareholders with ample opportunity to complete the transfer and dematerialization process for their physical securities.

Eligibility Criteria and Requirements

The facility specifically covers physical securities that were sold or purchased prior to April 1, 2019. Additionally, the window accommodates transfer requests that were previously submitted but faced rejection, return, or remained unattended due to documentation deficiencies or procedural shortcomings.

Transfer and Lock-in Provisions

Under the new facility, transferred securities will be mandatorily credited to the transferee exclusively in dematerialized mode. These securities will be subject to a lock-in period of one year from the date of transfer registration. During this lock-in period, the securities cannot be transferred, lien-marked, or pledged, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.

Procedural Information for Shareholders

Shareholders interested in utilizing this facility must submit their requests along with required documentation to the company's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, Ankit Consultancy Private Limited, located at 60, Electronic Complex, Pardeshipura, Indore (M.P.) 452010. Only requests accompanied by original certificates, transfer deeds, and relevant supporting documents will be considered under this special window.

Viji Finance Limited has published a public notice under Regulation 47 of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015, confirming its Extra-Ordinary General Meeting (EGM) scheduled for April 23, 2026. The meeting will be conducted through Video Conferencing (VC) and Other Audio-Visual Means (OAVM) to approve the issuance of warrants convertible into equity shares worth ₹357 crores.

EGM Details and Regulatory Compliance

The EGM will be held on Thursday, April 23, 2026 at 11:30 AM (IST) through Video Conferencing (VC)/Other Audio-Visual Means (OAVM), complying with applicable provisions of the Companies Act, 2013 and circulars issued by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) and Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI).

The company proposes to issue up to 12.75 crore warrants convertible into equivalent equity shares to non-promoter investors at ₹2.80 per warrant, including a premium of ₹1.80. The warrants will be convertible within 18 months from the allotment date, with 25% of the consideration payable at subscription and the remaining 75% at conversion.

Fund Utilization and Business Objectives

The proceeds from the warrant issuance will be utilized for specific business objectives aimed at strengthening the company's financial services operations.

As a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC), Viji Finance Limited's primary activity involves onward lending, extending secured and unsecured loans to eligible borrowers in accordance with applicable laws and regulatory guidelines.

E-Voting Information and Shareholder Participation

The company has provided comprehensive e-voting facilities for shareholders in compliance with Section 108 of the Companies Act, 2013 and Regulation 44 of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations.

Electronic copies of the EGM notice have been distributed to shareholders whose email addresses are registered with the company or their Depository Participants. The notice and related documents are available on the company's website ( www.vijifinance.com ) and stock exchange websites including BSE, NSE, and Calcutta Stock Exchange.

Proposed Allottee Details and Shareholding Impact

The warrant issuance will be made to 22 non-promoter investors, with significant allocations to various Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) and individuals.

Upon full conversion of warrants, the company's paid-up capital will increase from 14.25 crore shares to 27.00 crore shares. The promoter shareholding will dilute from 47.64% to 25.16%, while maintaining control of the company. The issue price of ₹2.80 per warrant has been determined based on SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, considering the higher of 90-day and 10-day volume weighted average prices on NSE.

The public notice confirms that any member can request a physical copy of the notice by sending a request to info@vijifinance.com . SEBI has also provided a special one-year window from February 05, 2026, to February 04, 2027, for investors to re-lodge old physical share transfer deeds that were originally submitted before April 1, 2019, but were rejected, returned, or not processed due to deficiencies.
