Manappuram finance has disclosed that the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) issued an Administrative Warning Letter to its Chairman and Managing Director, V.P. Nandakumar, for delayed disclosure of share pledge transactions. The warning, dated April 24, 2026, was issued to Mr. Nandakumar in his personal capacity regarding compliance violations from 2018.

Details of SEBI Warning

The regulatory action stems from delayed disclosure of encumbrance/pledge of shares in Manappuram Finance Limited for transactions that occurred between September 21, 2018, and September 24, 2018.

The warning letter specifically addresses the non-compliance with mandatory disclosure requirements for share encumbrance and pledge transactions by promoters and key management personnel.
