Robust Hotels Limited, a leading player in the hospitality sector and listed on both BSE (Scrip Code: 543901) and NSE (Symbol: RHL), has submitted its compliance certificate under Regulation 74(5) of SEBI (Depositories and Participants) Regulations, 2018 for the quarter and financial year ended March 31, 2025.

The submission was made on April 4, 2025, by Ms. Yasotha Benazir N, Company Secretary & Compliance Officer of Robust Hotels Limited, confirming the company’s continued adherence to SEBI's regulatory framework.

The certificate was issued by the company’s Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, Integrated Registry Management Services Private Limited, headquartered at Kences Towers, T Nagar, Chennai. The registrar has confirmed that:

• All physical securities received for dematerialisation during the quarter were verified and processed accordingly.

• These securities were either accepted or rejected and communicated to the respective depositories in line with the norms.

• Physical share certificates were mutilated and cancelled post-verification, thereby ensuring that there is no risk of duplication or misuse.

• The name of the respective depositories was duly updated in the Register of Members within the stipulated time of 15 days, marking the final step in the dematerialisation process.

The regulatory requirement under Regulation 74(5) is critical to maintaining transparency and trust in the dematerialisation and ownership of securities. It ensures that listed companies and their registrars uphold the standards of timely and accurate conversion of physical shares into electronic form, thus aiding the development of a transparent securities market ecosystem.

Regulation 74(5) of the SEBI (Depositories and Participants) Regulations, 2018 mandates all listed entities and their R&T agents to confirm that:

1. Securities received for dematerialisation are processed and confirmed to the depositories.

2. The corresponding physical certificates are cancelled and mutilated post-processing.

3. The register of members is updated within the required timeframe.

Failure to comply with these mandates could lead to penalties or stricter scrutiny by the regulator. However, Robust Hotels' timely submission of the certificate reflects its strict compliance, operational discipline, and its robust governance policies.

The role of Integrated Registry Management Services, the registrar and share transfer agent, is central to this compliance process. They serve as the intermediary between the company, investors, and the depositories (such as NSDL and CDSL), ensuring that all transactions related to shareholding are smoothly executed and properly recorded.

The confirmation letter from Yuvaraj S, General Manager at Integrated Registry, addressed to Ms. Yasotha Benazir N, confirms the successful completion of all these compliance steps during the March 2025 quarter.

Furthermore, this filing reinforces Robust Hotels Limited’s commitment to investor service, compliance, and corporate governance. Regular submission of such certificates, especially within the regulatory timelines, helps boost investor confidence and assures stakeholders of the company's operational integrity.

Robust Hotels Limited, known for managing premium hospitality properties such as Hyatt Regency Chennai, continues to maintain its reputation not only in the hospitality sector but also in regulatory and financial governance.

As part of the broader compliance ecosystem:

• The company's equity shares are listed and actively traded on both BSE and NSE, increasing transparency for stakeholders.

• It has demonstrated consistent efforts to fulfill SEBI's mandates, thereby reducing potential operational and legal risks.

• It maintains regular engagement with its registrar to facilitate shareholder services including dematerialisation, transfers, and investor grievance redressal.

This quarterly filing is a routine but significant requirement that affirms that shareholder data remains secure, up-to-date, and in compliance with SEBI’s expectations. As investors increasingly demand higher standards of transparency and compliance, such proactive disclosures by Robust Hotels ensure its position as a responsible and dependable listed entity.

The company’s registered office is located at No. 365, Anna Salai, Teynampet, Chennai – 600018, and it operates under CIN: L55101TN2007PLC062085. This filing adds to its long-standing record of compliance and ethical corporate conduct.
