Univastu India Limited Board Approves Continuation of Independent Director, Appoints Scrutinizer
Univastu India Limited's Board approved the continuation of Mr. Dhananjay Barve as an Independent Director until November 13, 2029, subject to shareholder approval via postal ballot. Mr. Nishad Umranikar was appointed as Scrutinizer, and Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd. as RTA. The company also addressed a ₹61,360 fine for delayed compliance.
The continuation of an independent director is a standard corporate governance practice. The fine is relatively small and does not indicate any significant operational or financial distress for the company.
The announcement details routine corporate governance matters, including director continuation and postal ballot procedures. While the continuation of a director is generally positive, the mention of a fine for delayed compliance introduces a neutral element.
Univastu India Limited announced that its Board of Directors met on March 4, 2026, to consider and approve the continuation of Mr. Dhananjay Barve's Directorship as a Non-Executive Independent Director. Mr. Barve, who turned 75 on December 6, 2025, will continue until the end of his second five-year term, which concludes on November 13, 2029. This continuation is subject to shareholder approval via a postal ballot. The Board also approved the appointment of Mr. Nishad Umranikar as the Scrutinizer for the postal ballot process and 'Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd' as the Registrar and Transfer Agent for coordinating the remote e-voting.
The Board meeting commenced at 4:00 p.m. and concluded at 5:00 p.m. The company will circulate a notice for the postal ballot separately. The event schedule for the postal ballot includes a cut-off date of February 27, 2026, for sending the notice, with remote e-voting commencing on March 6, 2026, and concluding on April 4, 2026. The scrutinizer's report is expected by April 7, 2026.
Additionally, the company addressed a fine of ₹52,000 (plus GST) levied by the National Stock Exchange for delayed compliance with Regulation 17(1A) of the Listing Regulations concerning the approval for the continuation of a Non-Executive Director who has attained the age of seventy-five years for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The total fine payable, including GST, amounts to ₹61,360.
