Lime Chemicals Limited has notified BSE Limited about its exemption from filing the Annual Secretarial Compliance report under Regulation 24A of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The calcium carbonate manufacturer cited regulatory provisions that exempt smaller companies from certain compliance requirements.

Regulatory Exemption Details

The exemption is granted under Regulation 15(2)(a) of SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015, which provides relief to companies with smaller capital base and net worth. According to the regulation, companies whose paid-up equity share capital does not exceed Rs. 10 crores and net worth does not exceed Rs. 25 crores as on the last day of the previous financial year are exempt from various regulatory requirements.

Financial Position

The company's current financial position as on March 31, 2026 demonstrates its eligibility for the exemption:

With a paid-up capital of Rs. 6.50 crores, which is below the Rs. 10 crore threshold, and a net worth of Rs. 1.94 crores, significantly below the Rs. 25 crore limit, Lime Chemicals Limited qualifies for the regulatory exemption.

Scope of Exemption

The exemption covers multiple SEBI regulations including regulations 17, 17A, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 24A, 25, 26, 26A, 27 and specific clauses of regulation 46, along with Para C, D and E of Schedule V. This comprehensive exemption reduces the compliance burden on the company for the financial year ended March 31, 2026.

Future Compliance Commitment

Lime Chemicals Limited has provided an undertaking to BSE that it will file the required reports under Regulation 24A once the company crosses the exempted levels. This commitment ensures regulatory compliance when the company's financial parameters exceed the prescribed thresholds. The notification was signed by Ahmed H. Dawoodani, Managing Director of the company, and communicated to the Corporate Relationship Department of BSE Limited.

Lime Chemicals Limited has submitted its mandatory compliance certificate under Regulation 74(5) of SEBI (Depositories and Participants) Regulations, 2018 for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
