Ashirwad Steels & Industries Limited disclosed compliance deviations for the financial year ended March 31, 2026, resulting in monetary penalties imposed by BSE Limited. The company's Annual Secretarial Compliance Report, prepared by M/s RSG & Associates, identified two specific instances of non-compliance concerning the timely submission of regulatory documents. These lapses led to cumulative fines of ₹1,03,840, highlighting procedural oversights in the company's filing mechanisms during the review period.

The primary deviation involved the submission of the Secretarial Compliance Report for the year ended March 31, 2025. Although the report was filed via XBRL on May 22, 2025, within the prescribed deadline, the company failed to submit the standalone PDF copy to BSE Limited within 60 days from the end of the financial year. This oversight resulted in a fine of ₹1,01,480, accrued till July 14, 2025. The company subsequently uploaded the PDF report on July 2, 2025, and filed formal waiver applications with the stock exchange on July 2 and July 24, 2025, along with a waiver processing fee of ₹11,800. The waiver application is currently pending adjudication.

A second instance of non-compliance pertained to the submission of the Annual Report. Regulation 34 mandates that the annual report sent to shareholders must be submitted to the stock exchange and published on the company's website on or before the commencement of dispatch to shareholders. Ashirwad Steels submitted the Annual Report to BSE Limited one day after the dispatch to shareholders had commenced. Consequently, a fine of ₹2,360 was imposed till October 30, 2025. The company acknowledged the penalty and stated it has implemented measures to ensure stricter adherence to simultaneous submission timelines in the future.

Despite these deviations, the report confirmed that the company has complied with the provisions of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, and other applicable regulations, except for the matters specified. The company affirmed that all applicable policies under SEBI Regulations were adopted by the Board of Directors and reviewed timely. Furthermore, the maintenance of a functional website, timely dissemination of information, and compliance with Secretarial Standards issued by the Institute of Company Secretaries of India were verified.

The report also detailed the company's adherence to other governance requirements. No directors were disqualified under Section 164 of the Companies Act, 2013, and performance evaluations of the Board, Independent Directors, and Committees were conducted as prescribed. The company obtained prior approval from the Audit Committee for all related party transactions and maintained necessary software for the Structured Digital Database (SDD) to comply with Prohibition of Insider Trading Regulations. There were no resignations of statutory auditors during the financial year, and no additional non-compliances were observed.
