SECP reminds companies to hold AGMs by 28 October
The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has reminded companies whose financial year ended on 30 June 2026 to hold their annual general meeting (AGM) by 28 October 2026, and to complete their annual return (AR) and ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO) filings.
The regulator said companies are required to hold their AGM within 120 days of the close of their financial year. Following the meeting, companies must file Form A where particulars have changed, or Form 24 where the particulars are unchanged from the last annual return.
Single-member companies and private companies with paid-up capital of not more than Rs3 million are exempt from filing an annual return where there is no change in the particulars contained in their last return, the SECP said.
On beneficial ownership, the regulator said companies must issue the required notices, obtain declarations and updates, maintain a UBO Register and file Form-19 with the registrar alongside their annual return. Where an annual return is not required, Form-19 must be filed within 30 days of the end of the calendar year.
The SECP encouraged companies to review their records and prepare the required filings in advance, saying this would ensure timely compliance and keep corporate information up to date.
