Janus Corporation Ltd files SEBI Regulation 31(4) declaration for FY 2025-26

What Janus Corporation Ltd announced

On 13 June 2026, Janus Corporation Ltd (BSE: 542924) submitted a Declaration under Regulation 31(4) of the SEBI (Substantial Acquisition and Takeover) Regulations, 2011 for the financial year ended 31 March 2026. The filing, made through the BSE portal, states that the company did not acquire any shares that would meet the disclosure thresholds prescribed under the SAST framework during the reporting period.

By confirming that no such acquisition occurred, Janus demonstrates adherence to SEBI’s transparency and disclosure norms.

Regulatory background

The SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 2011, aim to protect the interests of shareholders by ensuring that any significant change in shareholding is disclosed promptly. Regulation 31(4) specifically requires a listed entity to file a declaration with the stock exchange when:

1. It acquires shares that cross any of the prescribed thresholds (0.5 %, 1 %, 5 %, 10 %, 15 %, 20 %, 25 %, 30 %, 50 %).
2. It receives an acquisition notice from a third party that meets the same thresholds.
3. It intends to make an acquisition that would cross a threshold, even if the transaction is not yet completed. Failure to file such a declaration can attract penalties, and the information is made publicly available to ensure market participants have a clear view of potential changes in control.
