BKK Bureau, New Delhi | 24 October 2026 | 5:56 AM IST
Reliance Communications Limited has disclosed that the National Company Law Tribunal’s Mumbai Bench has directed the Registrar of Companies, Mumbai-II, to process the company’s application seeking an extension of time to convene its annual general meeting for the financial year 2025–26.
The order was passed on October 16, 2026, on an application filed by the company’s Resolution Professional. Reliance Communications informed the National Stock Exchange of the order on October 24, citing the proceedings as an action taken or order passed by a judicial body.
According to the exchange filing, the Registrar of Companies has been directed to process the application either physically or through the backend of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs portal. The direction relates to the company’s request for additional time to convene and hold its FY 2025–26 AGM.
The NCLT’s directions also extend to other statutory forms affected by Reliance Communications’ status as being “Under CIRP”, or undergoing the corporate insolvency resolution process. The filing said the company had faced difficulties in submitting the required forms on the MCA portal because of that status.
The tribunal further directed that no coercive or penal action be taken against the company or its Resolution Professional for delays attributable to the portal-related impediment while the proceedings remain pending. The company said the order did not determine any specific violation or contravention against it.
The order does not itself complete the extension process. The company’s filing states that the extension remains subject to the Registrar of Companies processing the application in accordance with the NCLT’s directions. Reliance Communications said it would take the necessary steps to comply with the order and undertake the required statutory compliances under applicable law.
The company also stated that the financial impact, if any, was not presently quantifiable. No suspension, debarment, disqualification, closure of operations or other sanction was imposed under the order described in the filing.
Why it matters
The disclosure clarifies the procedural position of Reliance Communications’ FY 2025–26 AGM and related statutory filings while the company remains under CIRP. It also records the protection from coercive or penal action for delays linked to the MCA portal issue, subject to the terms described in the NCLT order.
Why it matters
The order addresses the company’s ability to complete its AGM and related statutory filings during CIRP, while placing the extension application before the Registrar of Companies for processing.
