Andhra Paper appeals ₹2.22 lakh fines from NSE, BSE to SAT over compliance matter
The total fine amount of approximately ₹2.22 lakh is relatively small for a listed company. Furthermore, the company is contesting the fine and expects relief from SAT, which minimizes the financial impact and uncertainty.
The company has taken legal action by appealing to SAT, which has admitted the petition. They have a legal opinion supporting their stance and are optimistic based on past similar cases where SAT provided relief against exchange penalties, indicating a favorable outlook for the company.
* Andhra Paper Limited announced that it has appealed to the Securities Appellate Tribunal, Mumbai (SAT) regarding fines levied by the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) and BSE Limited (BSE). * The fines, amounting to ₹1,10,920/- each from NSE and BSE (totaling ₹2,21,840/-), were imposed for alleged non-compliance with Regulation 17(1A) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. * The company had previously filed a waiver application with NSE, which was not considered. * Andhra Paper has paid the fines under protest, based on a legal opinion supporting its position that the fines were erroneously imposed. * The Securities Appellate Tribunal has admitted the company's petition and listed the matter for a hearing. * The company noted that in similar past matters, the Tribunal had provided relief to companies against penalties imposed by the exchanges.
