XED withdrawal a jolt to listing hub hopes of GIFT City
10 Apr 2026
Sera Investments & Finance India Limited has formally responded to a query from BSE Limited regarding promoter reclassification under SEBI regulations. The company's response, dated April 9, 2026, addresses BSE's inquiry about compliance with Regulation 31A(8) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
Promoter Reclassification Application
The company confirmed that it filed an application on August 11, 2025, seeking BSE's approval for reclassifying existing promoters from the promoter category to the public category. The application was submitted in response to requests received from the promoters themselves for such reclassification.
Details of Promoters Seeking Reclassification
Two promoters have requested reclassification to public category status:
Sr. No. Name of the Outgoing Person Relation with Board of Directors No. of Equity Shares held Percentage of Shareholding / Voting Rights 1 Mr. Mahendrabhai Gulabdas Patel NA Nil Nil 2 Mr. Munjal Mahendrabhai Patel NA Nil Nil
Both promoters currently hold no equity shares in the company and have no relation with the Board of Directors, which supports their request for reclassification to public category.
Regulatory Compliance
The response demonstrates the company's adherence to SEBI's disclosure requirements under Regulation 31A(8). This regulation mandates companies to inform stock exchanges about promoter reclassification matters and seek appropriate approvals before implementing such changes.
Official Authorization
The response was officially signed by Sagar Samir Shah, Whole-Time Director with DIN: 03082957, on April 9, 2026. The document was digitally signed, ensuring authenticity and compliance with modern regulatory filing requirements.
