Navigant Corporate Advisors Limited has officially notified the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) that it is exempt from filing the Annual Secretarial Compliance Report for the financial year ended 31st March, 2026. The company has invoked regulatory exemptions under SEBI guidelines that apply to smaller listed entities.

Regulatory Exemption Details

The company is claiming exemption under Regulation 15(2) of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirement) Regulations, 2015. According to this regulation, corporate governance requirements do not apply to listed entities meeting specific financial criteria. The exemption applies to companies with paid-up equity share capital not exceeding Rs. 10 crores and net worth not exceeding Rs. 25 crores as on the last day of the previous financial year.

Company's Financial Position

Navigant Corporate Advisors Limited meets the eligibility criteria for the exemption based on its financial parameters as of 31st March, 2026:

Compliance Report Non-Applicability

The Annual Secretarial Compliance Report requirement falls under Regulation 24A of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirement) (Amendment) Regulations, 2018. This regulation was further clarified through SEBI Circular dated 08.02.2019 and BSE circulars dated 09.05.2019 and 14.05.2019. However, due to the company's exemption status under Regulation 15(2), this compliance requirement does not apply.

SME Platform Listing Status

The company emphasized its listing status on the SME (Small and Medium Enterprises) platform of BSE, which supports its claim for regulatory exemptions. SME-listed companies often benefit from relaxed compliance requirements compared to main board listings, provided they meet specific financial thresholds.

The notification was signed by Sarthak Vijlani, Managing Director (DIN: 05174824), and submitted to BSE on 02.04.2026 for the exchange's information and records.
