IRFC Submits Annual Secretarial Compliance Report for FY26
IRFC submitted its Annual Secretarial Compliance Report for FY26, highlighting non-compliance with SEBI (LODR) Regulations regarding independent director representation on its board and committees. The company has requested waivers for fines imposed by stock exchanges and is awaiting the appointment of required directors.
While the non-compliances relate to corporate governance, the company is actively addressing them and has received a waiver from NSE. The impact is considered medium as it doesn't immediately affect core operations but points to governance weaknesses that need continuous monitoring.
The report details non-compliance issues, which are negative, but also mentions the company's actions to address them and requests for waivers, along with a waiver granted by NSE. This presents a mixed picture, hence the neutral sentiment.
Indian Railway Finance Corporation Limited (IRFC) has submitted its Annual Secretarial Compliance Report dated 14th May 2026 for the financial year ended 31st March 2026. The report, issued by M/s VAP & Associates, Practicing Company Secretaries, confirms IRFC's compliance with various SEBI regulations, including the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
The report details several instances of non-compliance noted during the review period, primarily related to the composition of the Board of Directors and its committees. Specifically, the company experienced a lack of independent directors on its board and various committees for certain periods, impacting compliance with regulations concerning independent director representation, quorum for board meetings, and the composition of the Audit Committee, Nomination and Remuneration Committee, Stakeholders Relationship Committee, and Risk Management Committee.
IRFC has communicated with stock exchanges regarding these non-compliances and has requested a waiver of fines imposed by BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) for the financial year 2024-25. The company has also been following up with the Ministry of Railways for the appointment of the requisite number of independent directors. Subsequent to the close of the review period, NSE has communicated a waiver of fines levied for non-compliance with certain regulations from March 2022 to December 2025. BSE Limited has also approved the company's request for a waiver of fines.
