Sastasundar Ventures Limited has informed stock exchanges that the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Kolkata Bench has sanctioned the share capital reduction scheme of its step-down subsidiary Genu Path Labs Limited (GPL). The NCLT order dated February 12, 2026 was uploaded on the tribunal's website on February 13, 2026.
NCLT Approval Details
The tribunal has approved the reduction of GPL's issued, subscribed and paid-up equity share capital through a comprehensive restructuring scheme. The approved reduction involves cancelling and extinguishing a significant portion of the existing share capital while maintaining the same number of shares but at reduced face value.
| Parameter: | Before Reduction | After Reduction |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Shares: | 1,97,49,998 | 1,97,49,998 |
| Face Value per Share: | Rs. 10 | Re. 1 |
| Total Paid-up Capital: | Rs. 19,74,99,980 | Rs. 1,97,49,998 |
| Securities Premium Account: | Rs. 19,74,99,996 | Nil |
| Capital Reduction Amount: | Rs. 17,77,49,980 | - |
Financial Rationale
The capital reduction scheme was necessitated by GPL's accumulated losses of Rs. 38,92,75,357 as on December 31, 2024. The company's management decided to write off these accumulated losses against the Securities Premium Account and reduce the share capital to better reflect the company's financial position.
The restructuring became necessary after the relationship between Sastasundar Healthbuddy Limited (GPL's holding company) and Flipkart Health Limited ceased in October 2024. This development affected GPL's planned revenue streams through the marketplace portal, prompting the need for capital adjustment.
Regulatory Compliance
The scheme received unanimous approval from shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on March 24, 2025. All seven shareholders present, including Sastasundar Healthbuddy Limited holding 1,97,49,992 shares, voted in favor of the special resolution.
| Shareholder Details: | Number of Shares |
|---|---|
| Sastasundar Healthbuddy Limited: | 1,97,49,992 |
| Individual Shareholders (6): | 6 |
| Total Shares Voted: | 1,97,49,998 |
The company had 22 unsecured creditors with total liabilities of Rs. 8,14,984 as on April 21, 2025, and no secured creditors. All statutory requirements including creditor notifications and newspaper publications were completed as per NCLT directions.
Implementation Timeline
The appointed date for the capital reduction scheme is January 1, 2025. GPL must now deliver a certified copy of the NCLT order to the Registrar of Companies within thirty days and publish notices in leading English and Bengali newspapers within two weeks of receiving the registration certificate.
Strategic Impact
The capital reduction is expected to improve GPL's net worth and provide greater flexibility for future fundraising activities. The scheme does not involve any financial outlay and will not affect the company's ability to meet its operational obligations. Management believes this restructuring will attract new investors and create better business opportunities for the diagnostic services company.
