I am a shareholder (Resident of West Bengal) of NDTV Limited (CIN - L92111DL1988PLC033099 , Regd Office - New Delhi ). As per PDF file enclosed, the Company Secretary is blatantly refusing to furnish copies of following Statutory Documents & Registers u/r Companies Act, 2013 r.w rules framed thereunder merely because I am physically geographically located at a different state/UT as that of the registered office of the company. 

  • Details of compensation, remuneration of employees as per Section 197(12) of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rules 5(2) and 5(3) of the Companies (Appointment and Remuneration of Managerial Personnel) Rules, 2014 as referred to in Annual Report for FY 2023 -24

  • Register of Directors and Key Managerial Personnel and their Shareholding maintained under Section 170 of the Companies Act, 2013, the Register of Contracts or arrangements in which Directors are interested under Section 189 of the Companies Act, 2013 - as referred to in Annual Report for FY 2023 -24

 As per response enclosed, the Company Secretary is  tacitly asking me to travel from West Bengal to New Delhi in a pre determined date in order to gain copies of access of the above documents . It is pertinent to note that Section197, Section170, Section 187 and the proviso specified in Rules 5(2) and 5(3) of the aforesaid rules and Companies Act, 2013 nowhere restricts furnishing of aforesaid records only for shareholders who are in same state/UT in the registered office of the company. Consequently for outstation shareholders the aforesaid records must be either furnished online electronically or physically at my registered address

Kindly please help regarding future course of action
