The Prof. Mankekar Talwalkars Mystery

Came across this strange anomaly in the shareholder filings of Talwalkars Better Value Fitness Ltd.

As per NSE filings,

On 30 Sept,2016-Laxmi Shivanand Mankekar owns 12,58,800 shares

On 30 June,2016-Laxmi Shivanand Mankekar & Kedar Mankekar jointly own 15,73,520 shares

So it appears that the Mankekar Family reduced its holdings

As per BSE filings,

On 30 Sept,2016-Laxmi Shivanand Mankekar & Kedar Mankekar jointly own 15,73,520 shares

On 30 June,2016-Laxmi Shivanand Mankekar & Kedar Mankekar jointly own 15,73,520 shares

So it appears that the Mankekar Family did not reduce its holdings

Never expected to find Schrodinger’s Cat in stodgy Stock Holding Filings !
