HUDCO Board Seeks Waiver of ₹5.31 Lakh Fine for Board Composition Non-Compliance
HUDCO's Board has decided to seek a waiver for a ₹5.31 lakh fine imposed by stock exchanges for non-compliance with board composition norms. The company attributes the non-compliance to delays in director appointments by the government, which is beyond its control.
The fine amount of ₹5.31 lakh is relatively small for a company of HUDCO's size and is unlikely to have a significant financial impact. The primary impact is reputational, but the company is addressing it by seeking a waiver.
The company is seeking a waiver for a fine, which is a neutral event. While the fine itself is a negative consequence, the proactive step to seek a waiver and the explanation provided mitigate the immediate negative impact. The outcome is uncertain.
Housing & Urban Development Corporation Limited (HUDCO) has placed the matter of fines levied by BSE and NSE for non-compliance with provisions regarding the composition of the Board of Directors during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, before its Board. The Board noted the status of the fine, which amounts to ₹5,31,000 (including GST), and desired continuous follow-up with the concerned Ministry regarding the penalties.
The company has requested the Stock Exchanges to waive the fine, highlighting that as a Government Company, the appointment of Directors is vested with the President of India, exercised through the Administrative Ministry. A request for the appointment of requisite Independent Directors has been made to the concerned Ministry, and thus, the appointment of Directors is beyond the company's control.
The fines were levied for non-compliance with Regulation 17(1) of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, for 90 days, resulting in a basic fine of ₹4,50,000 and ₹81,000 in GST.
