Paisalo Digital: EV Cflow Increases Stake Past 20% Mark

Equilibrated Venture Cflow Private Limited has acquired 10 lakh equity shares of Paisalo Digital Ltd, increasing its total holding to 18,77,63,880 shares. This open market transaction lifts E.V. Cflow's stake in the digital lender to 20.64%, up from 20.53%.

The filing, dated May 14, 2026, was made in compliance with SEBI's regulations for substantial acquisitions. These rules require investors to disclose significant stake changes, such as crossing thresholds like 5% or 10%.

This latest acquisition is part of E.V. Cflow's ongoing strategy to steadily increase its investment in Paisalo Digital. The investor has consistently bought shares on the open market, solidifying its position as a major shareholder. While the current stake exceeds 20%, it remains below the 25% threshold that would typically trigger a mandatory open offer.

The increased holding by E.V. Cflow may signal positive market sentiment for Paisalo Digital, while also raising the investor's reporting obligations. A greater concentration of ownership by a large institutional investor could also influence future corporate actions.

Paisalo Digital's total equity share capital stood at Rs. 90,95,21,874/-, with a face value of Rs. 1/- per share, before and after the acquisition.

Investors will monitor E.V. Cflow for any further purchases that could approach future SEBI thresholds. Paisalo Digital's business performance and management commentary on stakeholder interests will also be key points to watch.
