Hardwyn India Limited Notes Non-Compliance, Pays ₹3.25 Lakh Fine
Hardwyn India Limited was fined ₹3.25 Lakh plus GST for non-compliance with Board composition rules for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The issue arose from director resignations and subsequent appointments, including Ms. Tanya Sayal's resignation and the appointments of Mr. Yogesh Garg and Mr. Eakam Sayal. The company has rectified the non-compliance.
The fine amount is material, and the non-compliance indicates a lapse in corporate governance, which could affect investor confidence.
The company incurred a financial penalty due to non-compliance with regulatory requirements, which negatively impacts its corporate governance perception.
Hardwyn India Limited's Board of Directors, in a meeting held on September 17, 2026, acknowledged a non-compliance identified by NSE and BSE concerning Regulation 17(1) of SEBI LODR Regulations for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The non-compliance stemmed from an inadvertent mismatch in the Board of Directors' composition following the resignation of Ms. Tanya Sayal, Non-Executive Director, on June 05, 2026.
To rectify this, the company appointed Mr. Yogesh Garg as an Independent Director effective June 05, 2026, and subsequently appointed Mr. Eakam Sayal as an Additional Director on August 29, 2026, restoring the required Board composition. The Board emphasized that the lapse was unintentional. The company has since complied with Regulation 17(1).
A fine of ₹3,25,000 plus applicable GST was levied by the Stock Exchanges for this non-compliance. The Board also noted that a fine for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, had been paid previously. The management has been advised to strengthen internal monitoring mechanisms to prevent future occurrences. The company plans to apply for a waiver of the fine for the June 30, 2026 quarter, citing the inadvertent nature of the lapse and corrective actions taken.
The Board meeting began at 12:00 p.m. and concluded at 12:55 p.m. The company reiterated its commitment to robust corporate governance.
