The allotment was executed under two distinct employee stock option schemes operated by the company. The ABCL Scheme 2017 contributed 5,560 shares, while the ABCL Scheme 2022, which includes Employee Stock Option and Performance Stock Unit components, accounted for the majority with 1,14,494 shares.

Significance of the Development

The allotment demonstrates ABCL's commitment to aligning employee interests with those of the company and its shareholders. As a player in the financial services sector, this equity expansion reflects the company's strategy to retain and motivate key talent through stock-based compensation.

This development underscores ABCL's focus on employee retention strategies in the evolving financial services landscape.

Aditya Birla Capital Limited has successfully obtained regulatory approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as a Non-Banking Financial Company-Investment and Credit Company (NBFC-ICC), marking a significant milestone in the company's regulatory framework transformation.

RBI Certificate of Registration Received

The company announced on December 11, 2025, that it has received the Certificate of Registration dated December 9, 2025, from RBI as an NBFC-ICC. This approval formalizes the company's conversion from its previous status as a Non-Banking Financial Company-Core Investment Company (NBFC-CIC) to the new NBFC-ICC category.

Background of the Conversion

The regulatory conversion stems from the Scheme of Amalgamation of Aditya Birla Finance Limited (ABFL) with Aditya Birla Capital Limited, which became effective on April 1, 2025. Following this amalgamation, the Certificate of Registration held by ABFL as NBFC-CIC was cancelled, necessitating the company's application for NBFC-ICC status.

During the interim period, the company had been operating as an NBFC-ICC based on the no-objection letter received from RBI for the amalgamation scheme. The company maintained compliance with all guidelines applicable to NBFC-ICC operations throughout this transition period.

Regulatory Compliance and Impact

The conversion to NBFC-ICC status allows Aditya Birla Capital to continue its financial services operations under the appropriate regulatory framework. The company had previously informed stock exchanges about the effectiveness of the amalgamation scheme on April 1, 2025, and has now completed all necessary regulatory formalities.

The company has fulfilled all disclosure requirements under Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Regulations, ensuring transparency with stakeholders regarding this important regulatory development. This approval provides regulatory certainty and enables the company to operate with full authorization under the NBFC-ICC framework.
