Longview Tea Company Secretary Resigns Due to Absence of Board of Directors

Longview Tea Company Limited has announced the resignation of its Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, creating another challenge for the tea company that has been operating without a Board of Directors since late 2025.

Key Resignation Details

Ms. Jyoti, who served as the Company Secretary and Compliance Officer, submitted her resignation effective January 6, 2026. The resignation was communicated to BSE Limited through a formal intimation under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Corporate Governance Crisis

The resignation stems from a significant corporate governance issue at Longview Tea Company. The company has been operating without a Board of Directors since its Annual General Meeting held on November 28, 2025. This unusual situation has created operational challenges and prompted the Company Secretary's departure.

In her resignation letter, Ms. Jyoti specifically cited the absence of the Board of Directors as the primary reason for her decision. She confirmed that there were no other material reasons contributing to her resignation beyond this governance issue.

Regulatory Compliance

The company has fulfilled its regulatory obligations by promptly informing the stock exchange about this key managerial personnel change. Chief Executive Officer Shantanu Daga (DIN: 08757724) signed the intimation letter to BSE Limited, ensuring compliance with disclosure requirements.

The resignation adds to the operational challenges facing Longview Tea Company, which operates in the tea industry and is registered in West Bengal. The company will need to address both the Board composition and the vacant Company Secretary position to restore normal corporate governance functions.
