Effwa Infra & Research Ltd., a leading environmental engineering company headquartered in Thane, Maharashtra, has submitted its quarterly compliance report in accordance with Regulation 74(5) of the SEBI (Depositories and Participants) Regulations, 2018. This report, submitted on April 14, 2025, pertains to the quarter ending March 31, 2025, and has been officially filed with the National Stock Exchange (NSE), where the company is listed under the symbol EFFWA.

The communication was signed by Ms. Varsha S. Kamal, Managing Director of Effwa Infra, confirming that a certificate issued by the company’s Registrar and Transfer Agent (RTA)—Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd.—has been enclosed with the submission.

Key Points of the Filing:

• The certificate dated April 4, 2025, from Bigshare Services Pvt. Ltd., confirms that:

  • All of Effwa Infra’s shares are held in dematerialised form.

  • The RTA did not receive any rematerialisation requests from any shareholder during the quarter ending March 31, 2025.

  • Therefore, no actions or transactions under Regulation 74(5) were required.

• In alignment with SEBI’s mandates and circulars—including NSDL/CIR/II/5/2019 and DSL/OPS/RTA/POLICY/2019/14—companies are required to confirm quarterly that any dematerialised securities have been properly processed and accounted for.

Significance of Regulation 74(5):

Regulation 74(5) requires that:

• Every issuer or its RTA confirms cancellation of securities received for dematerialisation.

• The issuer must ensure proper updates in the Register of Members.

• A certificate to this effect must be submitted to the relevant stock exchange(s) within 15 days of the end of each quarter.

By submitting a “Nil Report”, Effwa Infra reaffirms that no physical certificates were converted to electronic format, and no demat shares were requested for rematerialisation (i.e., converting back to physical form) during the quarter.

Corporate Governance and Compliance:

Effwa Infra’s timely submission of this regulatory certificate underscores its commitment to good governance, compliance culture, and transparent investor relations. The filing supports SEBI’s broader initiative to ensure:

• Complete dematerialisation of shares

• Electronic shareholding practices

• Protection of investor interests by eliminating risks associated with physical share certificates
