October 6, 2026 • 3 weeks ago •

ISLAMABAD: The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has issued a crucial advisory for companies regarding their Annual General Meetings (AGMs). Firms with a financial year ending on June 30, 2026, are required to conduct their AGMs by October 28, 2026, ensuring compliance with corporate governance standards.

The SECP emphasized the importance of timely filings, stating that businesses must also complete their Annual Return and Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBO) filings without delay. This directive aims to enhance transparency and accountability within the corporate sector, aligning with international best practices.

This advisory holds significant implications for the corporate landscape in Pakistan. By enforcing a clear deadline, the SECP seeks to foster a culture of compliance among companies, which is essential for investor confidence and economic stability. The move is expected to streamline corporate operations and improve the overall business environment.

Companies are urged to prepare for these deadlines promptly. The SECP will monitor compliance closely, and further guidance may be issued as the deadline approaches. Stakeholders are encouraged to stay informed about any updates to ensure adherence to these new regulations.
