Indian Railway Finance Corporation Limited (IRFC) has been levied fines by both the BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) for non-compliance with regulations pertaining to the composition of the Board and constitution of committees, specifically Audit, Nomination and Remuneration committees, for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Each exchange has imposed a fine of ₹9,55,800, inclusive of GST, totaling ₹19,11,600. The communication regarding these fines was received on May 27, 2026. The alleged violations relate to Regulations 17(1), 18(1), and 19(1)/19(2) of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015.
IRFC has stated that these fines have no impact on its financial, operational, or other activities. As a Government Company, the appointment of directors vests with the President of India through the Ministry of Railways. IRFC has made repeated requests to the Ministry for the appointment of the requisite number of independent directors, including women independent directors, to ensure compliance with corporate governance norms. The company also noted that in previous instances of similar non-compliance between March 2021 and December 2025, the stock exchanges had waived the imposed fines on similar grounds. Consequently, IRFC has requested the BSE and NSE to waive the current fines levied.
