Related-Party Transaction

    Related-Party Transaction (RPT)

    ESG & Governance

    A deal between the company and parties connected to it, such as promoter entities or subsidiaries. Disclosed in the annual report and subject to audit-committee approval.

    Why it matters

    RPTs are the most common channel for value leakage from minority shareholders. Large or frequent RPTs with promoter entities deserve line-by-line scrutiny.
