Zim Laboratories Limited has initiated a postal ballot process to seek shareholder approval for revising the remuneration structure of its Managing Director and Whole-Time Director. The company is proposing a revision in the pay packages of Dr. Anwar Daud, Managing Director, and Mr. Zulfiquar Kamal, Whole-Time Director, which includes an increase in fixed remuneration and performance-linked incentives. The resolutions require shareholder consent via remote e-voting, which is scheduled to take place from July 13, 2026, to August 11, 2026.
The special resolutions propose a fixed remuneration of up to ₹3.00 crore per annum for Dr. Anwar Daud and up to ₹2.50 crore per annum for Mr. Zulfiquar Kamal. Additionally, the Managing Director is eligible for a Performance Linked Incentive (PLI) of up to 42.50% of the aggregate fixed salary, while the Whole-Time Director is eligible for a PLI of up to 25% of the aggregate fixed salary. These revisions are proposed to be effective until the expiry of their current terms, which are July 30, 2027, and October 18, 2027, respectively.
