Lokesh Machines Receives Notice for Non-Compliance of Regulation 17(1)
Lokesh Machines fined ₹3,71,700 each by BSE & NSE for non-compliance with Regulation 17(1) due to delay in appointing an independent director. The company seeks a waiver.
The financial implication of the fine is relatively small, and the company is seeking a waiver, suggesting the impact is limited.
The announcement discusses a penalty levied on the company for non-compliance, which is a negative event.
