The company has been fined by stock exchanges for non-compliance with SEBI regulations, which is a negative development.
NLC India Limited has received notices from BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) for non-compliance with regulations pertaining to the composition of the Board of Directors and various committees, including the failure to appoint a Women Director. Consequently, both BSE and NSE have imposed a fine of ₹5,68,760 (including GST) on the company. The company has requested a waiver of these fines from NSE and BSE on the grounds that, as a Government Company, the appointment of Directors vests with the President of India. The Ministry of Coal, the administrative ministry, is periodically informed about the requirement for appointing the requisite number of Independent Directors. NLC India Limited stated that the non-compliance was neither attributable to negligence on the part of the company nor within the control of its management. The total financial implication is limited to the fines imposed, amounting to ₹5,68,760 each, with no impact on the company's operations or other activities.
