Gem Spinners India Limited reported multiple compliance lapses during the financial year ended March 31, 2026, according to a secretarial audit report filed under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015. The audit, conducted by Practising Company Secretary N. Srividhya, identified deviations concerning trading window disclosures, share dematerialization, and committee constitution. The company has acknowledged these issues and stated that necessary actions will be taken to ensure future compliance.

The report highlighted that the company failed to file disclosures related to the closure of trading windows in both XBRL and PDF formats for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Additionally, there was a delay in filing these disclosures for the quarter ended December 31, 2025. This non-compliance pertains to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, and specific circulars dated May 16, 2023, March 31, 2023, and January 27, 2023.

Another significant deviation noted was the non-compliance with Regulation 31(2) of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015. The company has not dematerialized 100% of the shares held by the promoter(s) and promoter group. This non-compliance was observed in previous financial years 2023-24 and 2024-25 and has continued into FY26. The management indicated that active steps are being taken to dematerialize the remaining shares.

The audit also found that the Audit Committee and Nomination and Remuneration Committee were not properly constituted for a period. Following the completion of an Independent Director's tenure, the committees were not reconstituted immediately, resulting in only two directors serving on both committees from April 1, 2025, to September 30, 2025. The committees were reconstituted effective October 1, 2025, but this disclosure was inadvertently omitted from the board meeting outcome.

Financial Penalties and Previous Actions

The company faced a financial penalty for non-submission of financial results within the prescribed period. A fine of ₹1,12,100 was imposed by the BSE for failing to submit the outcome along with results within 30 minutes from the conclusion of the board meeting for the quarter ended December 2024. The report confirms that the fine amount has been paid.

The following table summarizes the key deviations and actions taken:

General Compliance Status

Regarding the overall compliance status, the report noted that the company is partially compliant with Secretarial Standards issued by the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI). While all applicable policies under SEBI Regulations have been adopted by the board, the company is yet to review and update existing policies. The company maintains a functional website, though it was observed that the site is not updated regularly.

The audit confirmed that no directors are disqualified under Section 164 of the Companies Act, 2013. There are no material subsidiaries, and the company has conducted performance evaluations of the Board and Committees as prescribed. While a Structured Digital Database (SDD) for insider trading compliance is in place, events were captured with a delay beyond the prescribed timelines.

Gem Spinners India Ltd reported a net loss of ₹8.78 lakh for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2026, as the company recorded zero income from operations. The total loss for the financial year 2025-26 stood at ₹40.98 lakh, widening from the ₹65.94 lakh loss reported in the previous year. The company's expenses for the quarter were primarily driven by employee benefit costs and depreciation, with no revenue generated during the period.

The Board of Directors approved the audited standalone financial results for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2026, at a meeting held on May 27, 2026. The results were reviewed by the Audit Committee and are accompanied by an Independent Auditor's Report from the Statutory Auditor, Vivekanandan Associates.
