MCL Pays ₹3.78 Lakh Penalty for Board Composition Non-Compliance
M TEK COPPER LIMITED paid a penalty of ₹3,77,600 to the NSE for non-compliance with board composition norms. The company failed to maintain at least six directors between March 17, 2026, and May 21, 2026. Waiver applications for the penalty were rejected by the NSE.
The penalty amount of ₹3.78 lakh is relatively small for the company and is unlikely to have a significant financial impact.
The company incurred a penalty due to non-compliance with SEBI regulations regarding board composition, which is a negative event.
M TEK COPPER LIMITED (MCL) has disclosed that the National Stock Exchange (NSE) rejected its waiver applications for penalties related to non-compliance with Regulation 17(1)(c) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The non-compliance pertains to the improper constitution of the Board of Directors within the prescribed limits for the consecutive quarters ended March 31, 2026, and June 30, 2026.
The company had submitted that it was taking necessary steps for the appointment of directors. However, the NSE rejected the waiver requests. Consequently, MCL was obligated to pay a specified penalty. The company paid the applicable penalties, amounting to ₹3,77,600 (inclusive of GST), on July 18, 2026, as advised by the NSE.
The violation involved having fewer than six directors on the Board during the period from March 17, 2026, to May 21, 2026, resulting in a delay of 64 days. The penalty was calculated at ₹5,000 per day plus 18% GST for this delay.
