Impact Assessment

Market Impact: Limited to holders of partly paid equity shares of Bharti Airtel Ltd. Regular equity shares trading remains unaffected.

Operational Impact: Trading members must update their systems to block transactions in scrip code 890157. Shareholders of partly paid shares need to prepare for call money payment of Rs.401.25 per share to convert to fully paid shares.

Investor Impact: Shareholders holding partly paid equity shares must pay the first and final call money to maintain their shareholding. Failure to pay may result in forfeiture of shares as per company policy.

Impact Justification

High importance due to immediate trading suspension affecting specific shareholder class. Medium impact as it affects only partly paid equity shareholders, not regular equity trading.
