Director Appointment Timeline and Compliance
The regulatory action centers around the appointment of Mr. Chander Mohan Mehra as Additional Director (Non-Executive Independent Director). The company's Board of Directors approved his appointment on November 12, 2025, based on the Nomination and Remuneration Committee's recommendation, subject to shareholders' approval.
Ravinder Heights simultaneously initiated the postal ballot process on the same date to obtain the requisite shareholder approval. The special resolution was passed by shareholders with the required majority on December 14, 2025, making the appointment effective from November 12, 2025 for a five-year term. The e-voting window remained open from November 15, 2025 to December 14, 2025.
Company's Defense and Regulatory Position
The company has strongly contested the fine, maintaining full compliance with SEBI regulations. Ravinder Heights argues that Regulation 17(1A) should be read harmoniously with Regulation 17(1C), which permits shareholder approval within three months of appointment or at the next general meeting, whichever is earlier.
Key points in the company's defense include:
- The postal ballot and remote e-voting process was conducted in strict compliance with applicable regulations
- All requisite filings and disclosures were made with the Registrar of Companies and stock exchanges
- The appointment was regularized within the prescribed statutory timeline
- The regulatory framework does not mandate prior shareholders' approval but permits approval within defined timelines
Financial Impact and Compliance Commitment
The company has assessed that the imposed fines will have no material impact on its financial, operational, or other business activities. This disclosure was made in compliance with Regulation 30 of the SEBI Listing Regulations and related SEBI circular dated July 13, 2023.
Despite paying the fine, Ravinder Heights has reiterated its commitment to ensuring strict compliance with regulatory requirements in a time-bound manner. The company disclosed this payment information to the stock exchanges as required under regulatory obligations.
