The filing informs the stock exchanges that the company’s promoter, Mr. Tarang Jain, will transfer 5,000 equity shares to his immediate relative – his spouse, Mrs. Rochana Tarang Jain – by way of a gift.

The filing also provides a before‑and‑after snapshot of shareholdings:

• Before transaction: Mr. Tarang Jain held 6,07,29,800 shares (39.75% of total equity).
• After transaction: Mr. Tarang Jain will hold 6,07,24,800 shares (still 39.75% because the transferred shares have no voting rights).

Regulatory framework governing the transfer

The disclosure is made under Regulation 10(5), which requires any acquisition of shares by a promoter or an immediate relative to be reported to the stock exchanges. The transaction falls under Regulation 10(1)(a)(i) of the SEBI (SAST) Regulations, which provides an exemption from the mandatory open‑offer requirement when the acquisition is:

1. Made by way of gift; and
2. The shares acquired represent 0.00% of the total share capital. Because the shares are gifted and carry no voting rights, the filing states that the price‑related clauses (such as the 25 % price ceiling) are not applicable. The acquirer also declares compliance with all disclosure obligations under Chapter V of the Takeover Regulations.

Shareholding impact at a glance

Why this matters for investors

• No dilution: Because the transferred shares carry no voting rights and represent a negligible portion of the capital, existing shareholders’ voting power and economic interest remain unchanged.
• No cash outflow: The transaction is a gift; therefore, the company does not incur any expense, nor does it receive any cash proceeds.
• Regulatory compliance: By filing under Regulation 10(5), Varroc Engineering satisfies SEBI’s disclosure requirements, ensuring transparency about related‑party share movements.
• Promoter shareholding stability: The promoter’s percentage holding stays at 39.75%, indicating that the control structure of the company is unchanged.
• Future monitoring: While this specific transfer is exempt from an open‑offer, any subsequent acquisitions that exceed the 25 % threshold or involve consideration may trigger additional regulatory obligations.

Conclusion

Varroc Engineering’s filing on 22 June 2026 confirms an off‑market, gift‑based transfer of 5,000 equity shares from promoter Tarang Jain to his spouse, Rochana Tarang Jain. The shares represent 0.00 % of the company’s paid‑up equity and carry no voting rights, leaving the promoter’s overall stake unchanged at 39.75 %. The transaction is exempt from a mandatory open‑offer under SEBI’s Regulation 10(1)(a)(i), and the company has complied with all required disclosures. No further action is pending from the exchanges, and the shareholding structure remains stable.
