DroneAcharya Aerial Innovations Limited has submitted its certificate under Regulation 74(5) of SEBI (Depositories and Participants) Regulations, 2018 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. The company filed this compliance document with BSE Limited on April 10, 2026, through its Registrar and Share Transfer Agent, Bigshare Services Private Limited.

Q4FY26 Depositories Compliance

The certificate confirms that all securities received from depository participants for dematerialization up to March 31, 2026, were properly processed and confirmed to the depositories. Bigshare Services, acting as the company's RTA, verified that security certificates received for dematerialization were mutilated and cancelled after due verification, with depositories' names substituted in the register of members within the prescribed 15-day timeline.

Annual Secretarial Report Exemption

Earlier, on April 07, 2026, DroneAcharya Aerial Innovations declared that the Annual Secretarial Compliance Report for FY26 is not applicable under SEBI Regulation 24A. The company cited its listing status on the BSE SME platform as the basis for this exemption.

SME Platform Benefits

Under Regulation 15(2) of SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015, entities listed on SME exchanges are exempt from compliance with several provisions, including Regulations 17, 17A, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 24A, 25, 26, 26A, and 27. This exemption allows SME-listed companies to operate with reduced compliance burdens compared to main board listings.

Company Leadership

Both filings demonstrate DroneAcharya's commitment to regulatory compliance while leveraging the benefits available to SME platform-listed companies. The depositories certificate ensures proper handling of dematerialization processes, while the secretarial audit exemption reduces administrative overhead for the drone technology company.
