MR & Associates, a firm of Practicing Company Secretaries, has issued the Secretarial Compliance Report for Shalimar Wires Industries Limited for the financial year ended March 31, 2026. The report confirms that the listed entity complied with the statutory provisions of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Act, 1992, and the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956, subject to specific observations and deviations detailed in the annexures. The review covered the period from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026.
The auditors noted that the company partially complied with the applicable Secretarial Standards (SS) issued by the Institute of Company Secretaries of India (ICSI). Additionally, the company is in the process of updating its policies and functional website to align with recent amendments and regulatory changes issued by SEBI. The report confirmed that no director was disqualified under Section 164 of the Companies Act, 2013, and that the company does not have any subsidiary as of March 31, 2026.
Compliance Observations
The report highlighted several deviations from SEBI regulations during the review period. A key observation was the failure to submit disclosures regarding the closure of the trading window in XBRL format within 24 hours of the PDF submission to the exchange, as required by a BSE circular dated December 8, 2023. The company has committed to ensuring timely submission of XBRL filings in the future.
Another deviation involved a technical glitch in implementing the trading restriction period. While the intimation for the closure of the trading window for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, was submitted to BSE Limited on March 28, 2025, it was not effected on the depositories portal until after April 1, 2025, due to technical issues. The management stated that the intimation was timely and the delay was technical in nature.
Disclosure and Advertisement Gaps
The report pointed out that the company did not publicize the opening of the Special Window for Transfer and Dematerialisation of Physical Securities once every two months during the one-year period, as mandated by a SEBI circular dated January 30, 2026. The publication is currently under process.
Furthermore, advertisements for the financial results for the quarters ended June 30, 2025, September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2025, were published without the prescribed Quick Response (QR) code, violating Regulation 47(1) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The company is implementing measures to ensure the inclusion of QR codes in future advertisements.
Insider Trading and Director Registration
Regarding the Prohibition of Insider Trading Regulations, 2015, the report noted a procedural delay in updating the names of certain immediate relatives in the list of Designated Persons maintained for trading restrictions. The management clarified that no trading was conducted by these relatives during the closure of the trading window.
The registration of Independent Directors with the Databank maintained by the Indian Institute of Corporate Affairs (IICA) was still under process during the audit period. This item was also cited as a continuing default from previous reports. The company has assured that it will take necessary steps to complete the registration.
