Krishna Defence and Allied Industries Limited has submitted a quarterly compliance certificate confirming that its entire shareholding was held in dematerialised form and that no requests for conversion between physical and electronic shares were received during the quarter ended 30 September 2026.

The company filed the certificate with the National Stock Exchange on 14 October 2026 under Regulation 74(5) of the SEBI (Depositories and Participants) Regulations, 2018.

The confirmation was issued by Bigshare Services Private Limited, the company's Registrar and Share Transfer Agent (RTA), on 13 October 2026.

Krishna Defence's September Quarter Compliance Filing

Bigshare Services confirmed that Krishna Defence's entire shareholding was already maintained in electronic form.

The registrar also reported that it had not received requests from shareholders for either dematerialisation or rematerialisation during the July-September 2026 quarter.

On this basis, the RTA stated that Regulation 74(5) was not applicable to the company for the reporting period, given the absence of relevant share conversion activity.

The filing was submitted to the NSE under the company's trading symbol KRISHNADEF.

Managing Director Ankur Ashwin Shah signed the exchange communication accompanying the registrar's certificate.

What Regulation 74(5) Covers

Regulation 74(5) forms part of SEBI's Depositories and Participants Regulations, 2018.

It deals with the processing and confirmation of securities submitted for dematerialisation and related depository procedures.

Dematerialisation refers to the conversion of securities held in physical certificate form into electronic holdings maintained through the depository system.

Rematerialisation is the reverse process, involving conversion of electronic securities into physical form where permitted under the applicable rules.

Registrars maintain records relating to these processes and provide regulatory confirmations concerning shareholding-related transactions.

In Krishna Defence's case, the quarterly certificate records that there were no such conversion requests during the reporting period.

What the Filing Establishes

The principal disclosure is that the company's entire shareholding remained in dematerialised form during the September quarter.

The absence of dematerialisation or rematerialisation requests also explains the registrar's statement about the applicability of Regulation 74(5) for the period.

This is an administrative securities-compliance disclosure. It does not report changes in the company's manufacturing operations, order book, ownership structure or financial performance.

Nor does the certificate provide data on exchange-traded share volumes or secondary-market transactions. Those activities are separate from the conversion of securities between physical and dematerialised formats.

Krishna Defence's exchange filing is dated 14 October 2026, one day after the registrar issued its confirmation.

The company identified its International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) as INE0J5601015.

The latest submission completes the company's stated quarterly reporting on this specific depository matter for the period ended 30 September 2026.
