Protean eGov AGM 2026: ₹10 Dividend, e-Voting Dates

AGM scheduled for September 22 via video conferencing

Protean eGov Technologies Limited has scheduled its 31st Annual General Meeting (AGM) for Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at 3:00 pm. The company said the meeting will be conducted through video conferencing or other audio-visual means (VC/OAVM), with no physical venue.

The agenda includes adoption of the audited standalone and consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended March 31, 2026 (FY26). The company also issued a newspaper advertisement related to the AGM and remote e-voting, and sent an electronic notice to eligible members.

Business context: digital public infrastructure focus

Protean e-Gov Technologies is described as a company that creates and manages digital public infrastructure for India, including tax administration and pension systems. The firm was incorporated in December 1995 and is engaged in developing citizen-centric, population-scale e-governance solutions.

While the AGM notice is procedural, it matters to shareholders because it bundles multiple decisions that require approval, including the proposed dividend and changes in statutory auditors.

Final dividend proposal: ₹10 per share for FY26

The Board of Directors has recommended a final dividend of ₹10 per equity share (face value ₹10 each) for FY26. The company noted that this equals 100 percent of the face value.

As stated in the notice, the dividend recommendation is subject to shareholder approval at the AGM. If approved, the final dividend will be paid within 30 days of the AGM date, and it will be subject to tax deduction at source (TDS) for eligible members.

Record date and dividend eligibility

The company fixed Friday, August 28, 2026 as the record date for determining shareholder eligibility for the dividend. Investors who were shareholders as of the record date, as per applicable settlement and depository processes, are the ones referenced for entitlement, subject to the AGM’s approval.

The company also advised shareholders to use Electronic Clearing System (ECS) for dividend receipt. Shareholders holding shares in demat form were asked to update bank details with their depository participants. Physical shareholders were asked to submit Form ISR-1 to the Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA), MUFG Intime India Private Limited.

Remote e-voting window and key deadlines

Protean said remote e-voting will be provided through NSDL for all resolutions mentioned in the AGM notice. Remote e-voting begins on Friday, September 18, 2026 at 9:00 am and ends on Monday, September 21, 2026 at 5:00 pm.

The cut-off date for voting eligibility is Friday, September 11, 2026. Members can submit questions in advance until Tuesday, September 15, 2026.

Institutional shareholders have been instructed to upload board resolutions or authority letters to participate. This requirement is typically used to validate authorisations for voting and participation on behalf of institutions.

Director re-appointment resolution: Shailesh Haribhakti

Shareholders will vote on the re-appointment of Mr. Shailesh Haribhakti as a Non-Executive Non-Independent Director. The notice states that he retires by rotation and offers himself for re-appointment.

The company also disclosed his board participation during FY25-26, noting that he attended all eight board meetings held in that period.

Statutory auditor change: T R Chadha & Co LLP proposed

Another key resolution involves approving the appointment of M/s T R Chadha & Co LLP as the new statutory auditors. They are proposed to replace M/s BSR & Associates LLP, which is completing its two consecutive terms.

The proposed remuneration for the new auditors is ₹61 lakh for FY26-27, excluding applicable taxes and out-of-pocket expenses. The amount is a disclosed fee proposal and will be relevant to shareholders assessing governance and audit oversight costs.

Access to AGM notice and integrated annual report

Protean said it circulated a letter to shareholders providing a web-link for access to the Integrated Annual Report for FY2025-26. The annual report is available on the company website (www.proteantech.in) under the financial reports section.

The notice of AGM along with the Integrated Annual Report for FY25-26 has been sent electronically to members with registered email IDs. The company said the documents are also available on stock exchange portals and the NSDL e-voting platform.

Snapshot: stock identifiers and traded prices mentioned

The disclosure includes the company’s trading identifiers: BSE: 544021, NSE: PROTEAN, and ISIN: INE004A01022. The text also shows multiple price snapshots, including a “current price” reference of ₹588 at one point and ₹620.65 at another, along with a separate visible figure of 635.65.

These figures appear as on-screen market snapshots rather than a single end-of-day close, but they indicate the stock was being tracked around the ₹588-₹635 range in the cited feed.

Key facts at a glance

Why the AGM matters for shareholders

The AGM bundles shareholder decisions on capital return (the final dividend), governance (director re-appointment), and audit oversight (statutory auditor appointment and fee). For investors, these resolutions are key checkpoints on the company’s compliance with corporate governance requirements and ongoing disclosures.

Operationally, the VC/OAVM format and NSDL e-voting timelines place extra emphasis on meeting deadlines, particularly the September 11 cut-off date and the September 18-21 e-voting window. Shareholders who need to update bank details or complete documentation with the RTA or depository participants may also view the AGM cycle as a prompt to regularise records for dividend receipt.

What happens next

The next milestone is the start of remote e-voting on September 18, 2026, followed by the AGM on September 22, 2026. Shareholder approval at the meeting will determine whether the ₹10 final dividend is paid, and whether the proposed statutory auditor appointment and other resolutions are implemented.
