On the compliance front, BSE Limited levied a fine totalling Rs.0.73 lakhs under Regulation 24(A), which the company deposited on June 27, 2025, and July 16, 2025. The Secretarial Audit Report for FY26, conducted by CS Ratna Tiwari (C.P. No. 19765), does not contain any qualification, reservation, or adverse remarks.
