More Say for Small Investors

With e-voting becoming mandatory for shareholders, decision-making will be in tune with small investors' aspirations...

Recently, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) made e-voting mandatory for shareholders of Top-500 companies of NSE and BSE. The decision, which came into effect on October 1, 2012, has the potential to significantly impact the decision-making in several companies as until now small investors' participation in the voting system was quite low due to the hassles of postal ballots.

All this will now be a thing of past as all investors will be issued user ids and passwords through which they can cast their votes.

Following is the list of the companies where holdings of small investors (non-promoters with less than Rs 1 lakh value of shares), when combined, is even more than the promoters' holding. The impact of it will surely be felt in future decision-making.
