IMFA fined ₹15 Lakhs by Ministry of Corporate Affairs for FY19-21 violations
IMFA has been fined ₹15 Lakhs by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs for violations related to financial statement mismatches during FY 2019-20 and 2020-21. The compounding fee was levied on its Key Managerial Persons. The company has made the payment and stated there is no material impact.
The fine amount of ₹15 Lakhs is relatively small for a company of IMFA's size, and the company has explicitly stated that there is no material impact on its financial, operational, or other activities. Therefore, the impact is considered low.
The announcement concerns a fine levied by a regulatory authority, which is a negative event. However, the company has complied with the order, paid the fine, and stated that there is no material impact on its operations, leading to a neutral sentiment.
Indian Metals & Ferro Alloys Limited (IMFA) has received an order from the Regional Director, South East Region, Hyderabad, Ministry of Corporate Affairs, concerning the compounding of offences for the financial years 2019-20 and 2020-21.
The company had voluntarily filed a compounding application on 10th December 2025 for these periods. Following a hearing on 20th April 2026, the Regional Director passed an order dated 23rd April 2026, which IMFA received on 27th April 2026.
Under Section 441 read with Section 129 of the Companies Act, 2013, an aggregate compounding fee of ₹15,00,000 (Rupees Fifteen Lakhs) has been levied on its Key Managerial Persons (KMPs) for the period FY 2019-20 to FY 2020-21. The company has since made the payment to the relevant authority.
The violations alleged relate to a mismatch in comparative figures in the financial statements for the period FY 19-20 to FY 20-21. IMFA has stated that this order has no material impact on its financial, operational, or other activities, quantifiable in monetary terms.
