Kahan Packaging bonus issue 2026: 3:1 key dates

What Kahan Packaging announced

Kahan Packaging Limited has moved ahead with a 3:1 bonus issue and a corresponding increase in authorised share capital, after receiving shareholder approval through a postal ballot. The company has also scheduled its 13th annual general meeting (AGM) for September 25, 2026. The bonus issue means eligible shareholders will receive three additional fully paid-up equity shares for every one share held. Each bonus share will have a face value of ₹10.

The company’s disclosures also set out the operational timeline around the bonus issue, including record date, allotment date, and the expected trading availability date. With these milestones, the stock is likely to remain in focus among investors tracking corporate actions.

Shareholders approve two resolutions via postal ballot

Kahan Packaging said shareholders approved two proposals: (1) increasing the company’s authorised share capital, and (2) issuing bonus shares. The voting was conducted through a postal ballot process using remote e-voting. Remote e-voting was open from July 14 to August 12, 2026.

The company declared the results on August 13, 2026. Based on the scrutinizer’s report, the Chairman and Managing Director, Prashant Jitendra Dholakia (DIN: 06428389), stated that both resolutions were carried as ordinary resolutions with 100% of votes cast in favour. The resolutions are deemed passed on August 12, 2026, which was the last date of remote e-voting, in line with Section 110(2) of the Companies Act, 2013.

3:1 bonus issue: what shareholders get

Under the approved 3:1 bonus issue, shareholders will receive three new fully paid-up equity shares for every one equity share held as of the record date. The face value per equity share is ₹10. The company indicated it is planning to issue up to 81.60 lakh bonus equity shares.

To illustrate the ratio, if an investor holds 100 shares on the record date, the investor would receive 300 bonus shares, taking the total holding to 400 shares after the issue. This changes the number of shares held, but it does not change proportional ownership due to the increase in total outstanding shares.

Record date and other corporate action dates

The company fixed August 20, 2026 as the record date for the bonus issue. With the record date on August 20, August 19 becomes the key date for investors tracking eligibility, as it is effectively the last day to buy the shares to be considered for the bonus shares.

Kahan Packaging also disclosed an allotment date of August 21, 2026. Further, the bonus shares are expected to be available for trading from August 24, 2026 onwards. These dates help investors map when holdings may reflect the corporate action and when the expanded quantity of shares may start trading.

Authorised share capital increase: ₹5 crore to ₹15 crore

Alongside the bonus issue, Kahan Packaging approved a plan to increase authorised share capital from ₹5 crore to ₹15 crore. The company described this as moving from 50 lakh equity shares of ₹10 each to 1.5 crore equity shares of ₹10 each. This involves creating an additional 1 crore equity shares of ₹10 each and altering the capital clause of the Memorandum of Association.

The Board approved the authorised capital increase at its meeting on July 11, 2026, subject to shareholder approval. The subsequent postal ballot approval cleared the corporate step required to support the bonus issuance and any related changes to the equity structure.

Funding and accounting: reserves and securities premium

The company’s disclosures said the bonus issue will be implemented through capitalisation of reserves and securities premium. It cited funding by free reserves of ₹448.64 lakh (₹4.4864 crore) and a share premium of ₹381.92 lakh (₹3.8192 crore).

It also stated that implementing the issue would require ₹816 lakh (₹8.16 crore) from free reserves and the securities premium account. The bonus shares will be issued out of free reserves created out of profits and the share premium account, as described in the filings.

What changes in paid-up equity share count

Kahan Packaging’s filings indicated the paid-up share capital would rise as a result of the bonus issuance. The company stated that paid-up capital will increase from 27.20 lakh shares to 1.088 crore shares post-allotment. Separately, the company also described the proposed bonus share count at approximately 81,60,000 equity shares, consistent with the 3:1 issuance framework.

The company had also indicated a broader expected timeline for credit or dispatch of bonus shares. It estimated the bonus shares would be credited or dispatched within two months from the date of Board approval, and separately mentioned an expectation of completion on or before September 10, 2026, subject to approvals.

Voting outcome: 100% support from participating shareholders

Kahan Packaging reported unanimous support among those who cast votes. The company’s disclosed voting summary for the bonus issue showed all votes polled were in favour with no votes against, and a participation rate of 76% for that resolution.

Market context mentioned in disclosures

In the run-up to the bonus approval, the company’s communications also noted heightened market attention. One update described shares of the Thane-based manufacturer of woven polymer packaging products hitting the upper circuit on a Friday after the Board approved the bonus issue.

The corporate action timeline, including the record date and allotment date, provides clarity to investors monitoring eligibility and when additional shares may reflect in their demat accounts.

Why the AGM date matters for shareholders

Kahan Packaging scheduled its 13th AGM for September 25, 2026. While the postal ballot approvals cover the bonus and capital increase, the AGM remains a key statutory event where shareholders typically review company matters placed on the agenda.

With multiple corporate milestones clustered across August and September 2026, shareholders may watch for the company’s subsequent exchanges filings confirming completion steps and the crediting process aligned with the announced dates.

Conclusion

Kahan Packaging has locked in shareholder approval for a 3:1 bonus issue and an increase in authorised share capital from ₹5 crore to ₹15 crore, with 100% of participating votes in favour. The record date is August 20, 2026, allotment is set for August 21, and bonus shares are expected to be available for trading from August 24. The company’s next scheduled shareholder event is its 13th AGM on September 25, 2026.
