An independent director has no business or family tie to the company, its promoters or its managers beyond the seat. Listed boards counts the boards of listed companies the director sits on, this one included, and "as independent" how many of those seats are independent ones. Committee seats are audit and stakeholder committee seats across those companies. Months as independent is filed for independent directors only, whose terms the rules cap. Disqualified is the company's own mark that a director may not serve under company law.

    Against Bank of India Mutual Fund
    • Bank of India Mutual FundThe company proposes to appoint Keyur J. Shah and Associates, as secretarial auditors for FY26 and pay a remuneration of Rs. 120,000 plus applicable taxes and other out-of-pocket expenses. Fee for statutory certifications and other professional services, if any availed, will be approved by the Board of Directors in consultation with the Audit Committee. The proposed remuneration payable to Keyur J. Shah and Associates is reasonable and commensurate with the size of the company. However, it is unclear why Keyur J. Shah and Associates are being appointed for a term of less than five years, as required under regulation. In the absence of clarity regarding the tenure, we are unable to support the resolution.

How money raised was used

Reported for the quarter to Jun 2026. A preferential issue sells new shares to chosen investors rather than to the public. A warrant or partly paid issue plans the whole issue while the money comes in over time, so the amount set aside can be more than raised so far.
