Smart Finsec Limited has disclosed its exemption from submitting details on related party transactions to BSE Limited, citing specific thresholds under SEBI regulations.

This regulatory exemption impacts the level of disclosure the company must provide regarding transactions with related parties.
The exemption is granted under Regulation 15(2) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations & Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
