Univastu India Limited Board Approves Continuation of Independent Director, Appoints Scrutinizer for Postal Ballot
Univastu India Limited's Board approved the continuation of Mr. Dhananjay Barve as Independent Director until November 13, 2029, pending shareholder approval via postal ballot. Mr. Nishad Umranikar appointed as Scrutinizer. The company also received a fine of ₹61,360 from NSE for delayed compliance regarding director continuation.
The decision regarding the director's continuation is a standard governance procedure. The fine for delayed compliance is relatively small and unlikely to have a material impact on the company's financials or operations.
The continuation of an independent director is a routine corporate governance matter. While a fine was levied for a compliance delay, it does not significantly impact the company's operations or financial health.
The Board of Directors of Univastu India Limited met on March 4, 2026, and approved the continuation of Mr. Dhananjay Barve as a Non-Executive Independent Director. Mr. Barve, who turned 75 on December 6, 2025, will continue until the end of his second term on November 13, 2029. This continuation is subject to shareholder approval via postal ballot.

The postal ballot notice will be circulated to members, with the remote e-voting period commencing on March 6, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. and concluding on April 4, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. The scrutinizer's report will be submitted to the stock exchange on or before April 7, 2026.
Mr. Nishad Umranikar has been appointed as the Scrutinizer for the postal ballot, and 'Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd' has been appointed as the Registrar and Transfer Agent to coordinate the remote e-voting process. The meeting, held at the company's registered office, commenced at 4:00 p.m. and concluded at 5:00 p.m.
Additionally, the company was notified by the National Stock Exchange of India Limited regarding a non-compliance with Regulation 17(1A) of the Listing Regulations concerning the delayed approval for the continuation of Mr. Dhananjay Barve's directorship post-75 years of age. A fine of ₹52,000 plus 18% GST (total ₹61,360) has been levied for the quarter ended December 31, 2025.
