NSE withdraws Rs 1.5 lakh penalty levied on Wallfort Financial Services
NSE withdrew a Rs 1.5 lakh penalty from Wallfort Financial Services after SEBI advised that penalties for common trading members must be levied by the allocated exchange. The penalty was originally imposed for non-closure of VAPT ATR observations in FY 2024-25. The company is now allocated to another exchange for this specific disciplinary action.

National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE) has withdrawn a penalty of Rs 1,50,000 previously levied on Wallfort Financial Services Limited regarding alleged non-closure of open observations in its Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) Action Taken Report (ATR) for FY 2024-25. The withdrawal follows a directive from SEBI specifying that disciplinary actions or penalties for common trading members registered with more than one exchange should be initiated solely by the "Allocated Exchange." Consequently, the company has been allocated to another exchange for the purpose of levying penalties related to the identified non-compliances.
The initial penalty was imposed by NSE on June 11, 2025, under Exchange Circular Ref. No. NSE/INSP/63908 dated September 12, 2024. This action was taken due to the alleged failure to close open observations reported in the ATR submitted against the VAPT Report for FY 2024-25. The company had intimated BSE regarding this penalty via a letter dated June 11, 2025.
In its communication withdrawing the fine, NSE cited the advice from SEBI regarding the jurisdictional allocation of penalties for common trading members. As a result of this reallocation, NSE rescinded the financial penalty communicated via email on June 11, 2025. The company has now informed BSE of this development, noting that the earlier intimation stands superseded to the extent of the penalty amount stated therein.
