Muthoot Finance Limited will close its trading window for designated persons starting September 30, 2026. The restriction remains in effect until 48 hours after the company announces its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

This action is taken in compliance with the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, and the company’s internal code of conduct. The closure applies to all securities of the company held by designated persons and their immediate relatives.

Compliance with SEBI Norms
