The total aggregate fine imposed by both exchanges is ₹1,36,880.
Details of the Violation
The fine is for a technical non-compliance with Regulation 17(1A) of the SEBI Listing Regulations for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

This process is scheduled to be completed within the prescribed period of three months from the date of Mr. Mathur's appointment. The Special Resolution along with the Explanatory Statement will be submitted immediately upon the conclusion of the Postal Ballot process and the declaration of voting results, which is scheduled for Friday, May 29, 2026.
