Baseless, legally untenable: Sona hits back on Rani Kapur's claims

Sona BLW Precision Forgings Ltd (Sona Comstar) on Monday issued a detailed rebuttal to allegations made by Rani Kapur, mother of late chairman Sunjay Kapur, calling them 'baseless', 'legally untenable', and 'deeply harmful' to the interests of over 400,000 public shareholders. The auto component manufacturer said Kapur has no locus standi in its affairs and that any suggestion of coercion or consent being required from her is false. In a letter to the board on Thursday, Kapur had claimed she was coerced into signing documents behind locked doors following her son's sudden and 'highly suspicious' death on 12 June. She said she was being denied access to her accounts and had been left at the 'mercy' of a select few for survival. She also claimed she had not nominated anyone to represent the Kapur family on the board and demanded that the company defer its annual general meeting (AGM), which was held as scheduled on Friday. In a statement to BSE on Monday, the company clarified that Rani Kapur has had no role — direct or indirect — in the company since at least 2019. 'She is neither a shareholder, director, nor officer of the company,' Sona Comstar said, adding that her claims of being coerced into signing documents are 'completely baseless and legally untenable'. The company also took strong exception to what it described as irresponsible statements and misinformation being circulated in the media. 'The continued dissemination of false narratives in the media to pursue personal legal agendas has resulted in erosion in shareholder value. With over 400,000 public shareholders, such actions are not only reckless but deeply harmful to the interests of the company. It is imperative that those responsible for this value destruction are held accountable,' it added. Sona Comstar also rejected the suggestion that it is a family-run or family-owned business. 'Sona Comstar is a publicly listed company with approximately 71.98 per cent of its shareholding held by institutional and public investors. The promoter entity holds a stake of 28.02 per cent and exercises no special rights or control,' the company stated. 'The assertion that the company is a family-run business is factually incorrect and misleading,' it added. The company stated that it is governed by a professional management team and an independent board. Since its initial public offering (IPO) in 2021, the promoter entity, Aureus Investments Private Ltd, has held only one non-executive board seat. The current board comprises nine directors, including two executive directors with no affiliation to the Kapur family and six independent directors 'with exemplary reputations and distinguished careers'. Sona Comstar said that recent appointments to the board, including the reappointment of Jeffrey Mark Overly as an independent director and the appointment of Priya Sachdev Kapur, wife of the late Sunjay Kapur, as a non-executive director, were fully compliant with all legal and governance norms. 'Both appointments would have passed even without any votes from the promoter entity,' the company said, noting they were ratified by 98.9 per cent and 99.4 per cent of shareholders, respectively.

India Records Over 65,000 Crore Digital Transactions Worth Rs 12,000 Lakh Crore From FY20 to FY25

New Delhi: Over 65,000 crore digital transactions have taken place in the last six financial years (FY20 to FY25), amounting to more than Rs 12,000 lakh crore, the Parliament was informed on Monday. The government has been closely working with different stakeholders including the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), fintechs, banks and state governments to increase the adoption rates of digital payments in the country including in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, said Pankaj Chaudhary, Minister of State for Finance, in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha. RBI has set up a Payments Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF) in 2021 to encourage the deployment of digital payments acceptance infrastructure in tier-3 to 6 cities, northeastern states and Jammu & Kashmir, the minister said. The minister said that as of May 31, 2025, around 4.77 crores digital touch points have been deployed through PIDF. The RBI has developed the Digital Payments Index (RBI-DPI) to measure the extent of digitisation of payments across the country. As a result, more people are able to access formal credit channels, which not only empowers economic participation but also brings more entities into the formal financial ecosystem. Digital platforms like UPI have enabled citizens, including small vendors and rural users, to accept digital payments, reducing cash dependency and increasing formal economic participation, the minister highlighted. As per the latest data, the RBI-DPI index stood at 465.33 for September 2024, reflecting continued growth in digital payment adoption, infrastructure, and performance across the country. In order to support small businesses and MSMEs in adopting digital payment systems to expand their customer base and improve efficiency, various initiatives have been taken by the government, RBI and National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) from time to time, the minister said. These include, among other things, the rationalisation of the Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) for Debit Card Transactions, the Trade Receivables Discounting System (TReDS) guidelines that enable MSMEs to receive competitive discounts on their invoices on the TReDS platform, and an incentive programme for small merchants to promote low-value BHIM-UPI transactions. The growing adoption of digital payments has revolutionised access to financial services, particularly for underserved and unserved communities. By enabling seamless, traceable transactions through platforms like UPI, digital payments have created a robust financial footprint for individuals and businesses, the minister stated.
