MOIL Seeks Waiver of ₹5.31 Lakh Fine for Board Composition Non-Compliance
MOIL Limited requested a waiver for a ₹5,31,000 fine imposed by NSE for non-compliance with SEBI (LODR) Regulations regarding board composition. The company cited reasons beyond its control, including delays in director appointments by the Ministry of Steel, and is pursuing this under NSE's waiver policy.
The fine amount is relatively small for the company, and the core issue is a compliance matter related to board appointments, which is being addressed through discussions with the relevant ministry. The immediate financial impact is minimal, and the long-term impact depends on the resolution of director appointments.
The announcement is a formal request for a waiver of a penalty due to non-compliance. While the company is explaining the reasons for non-compliance, it does not present positive financial or operational news, nor does it indicate an immediate negative impact. The outcome of the waiver request is pending.
MOIL Limited has formally requested a waiver for a penalty of ₹5,31,000 imposed by the National Stock Exchange (NSE) for non-compliance with Regulation 17(1) of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, concerning the composition of its Board.
The company attributes the non-compliance to reasons beyond its control, specifically the delay in the appointment of the requisite number of directors, including independent directors, by the President of India through the Ministry of Steel. MOIL has been consistently communicating with the Ministry to expedite these appointments.
MOIL's request for a waiver is based on the NSE's uniform carve-out policy, which allows for waivers when a board cannot approve compliances due to positions not being filled, pending approval from a regulator or authority. The company highlighted that the Board of Directors, in its meeting held on April 29, 2026, reiterated its previous suggestion to pursue director appointments with the Ministry of Steel and request the stock exchanges to waive the imposed penalty.
The matter was placed before the Board following a letter from NSE dated February 27, 2026, and subsequent communication regarding the fine. The company plans to submit the Board's comments to the Exchange in due course.
