At its 31st Annual General Meeting held on May 21, 2026, shareholders of Anand Rathi Wealth Limited approved several key corporate actions. These include the final dividend payout for the 2025-26 financial year, the re-appointment of Mr. Anand Nandkishore Rathi as a Director, an increase in the company’s authorized share capital, and a significant bonus share issuance.
Financial Highlights and Shareholder Returns
The company successfully confirmed the interim dividend of ₹6 per share and declared a final dividend of ₹7 per equity share for the 2025-26 financial year. These payouts, which aggregate to a total distribution of ₹58.11 crore for the final dividend, reflect the company’s commitment to returning value to its shareholders.
Strategic Capital Expansion and Bonus Issuance
In a move to strengthen its capital structure, shareholders approved the increase of the company’s authorized share capital from ₹50 crore to ₹100 crore. Complementing this, the company has announced the issuance of bonus equity shares in a 1:1 ratio. This means members will receive one bonus share for every one fully paid-up equity share held as of a forthcoming Record Date to be determined by the Board. The capitalization for this bonus issue is set at an amount not exceeding ₹41.51 crore.
Leadership and Governance
During the meeting, shareholders formally approved the re-appointment of Mr. Anand Nandkishore Rathi as a Non-Executive Director. He will continue to be liable to retire by rotation, ensuring consistent leadership as the company proceeds with its growth and capitalization initiatives.
Operational Adjustments
The company has also been authorized to make necessary adjustments to its Employee Stock Option Scheme (ARWL ESOP – 2025), ensuring that the issuance of bonus shares does not disadvantage existing stock option holders. All bonus shares will be issued in dematerialized form to ensure seamless credit to shareholder accounts.
