2. Immediately took corrective action by submitting revised financial results incorporating the requisite half-yearly figures
3. Submitted representation and clarification to the Stock Exchange explaining that:
- The company had been voluntarily following more frequent quarterly reporting
- The lapse was inadvertent and procedural in nature
- There was no intention to avoid or disregard regulatory requirements
4. Submitted an application to the Stock Exchange seeking waiver of the fine (currently under consideration)
5. Board meeting held on August 13, 2026 to note the matter

The fine of ₹75,000 plus applicable GST represents a confirmed financial liability, though the company has applied for waiver.
