Viji Finance fined ₹1.35 Lakhs by BSE and NSE for Board Composition non-compliance
Viji Finance Limited has been fined ₹1,35,700 each by BSE and NSE for non-compliance with board composition rules. The company argues it's not among the top 2000 listed entities and was not given a fair hearing. The fines are not expected to materially impact operations.
The fine amount of ₹1,35,700 is relatively small for the company and the announcement explicitly states no material impact on financial or operational activities.
The company has been fined by stock exchanges for non-compliance, which is a negative development.
Viji Finance Limited has been fined ₹1,35,700 by both BSE Limited and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited. The fines were imposed for alleged non-compliance with Regulation 17(1) of the SEBI Listing Regulations, which pertains to the requirement of the Board of Directors comprising not less than six directors for the top 2000 listed entities.
The company received email communications from BSE and NSE on May 27, 2026, informing them of the fine. Viji Finance Limited has stated that the fines were imposed without an adequate opportunity of being heard. Furthermore, the company contends that it does not fall under the category of the top 2000 listed entities, and therefore, the relevant provisions should not be applicable.
The company had previously submitted clarifications and responses on May 9, 2026, May 22, 2026, and May 26, 2026, to NSE, explaining its position. Despite these submissions, the exchanges proceeded with the imposition of the fine. Viji Finance Limited is in the process of submitting an appropriate response or representation to the stock exchanges regarding this matter. The company asserts that there will be no material impact on its financial, operational, or other activities, except for the fine amount itself.
