Practising Company Secretaries firm Lakshmi Subramanian & Associates has submitted the secretarial compliance report for TwentyFirst Century Management Services Limited covering the financial year ended 31st March 2026. The report, signed by Partner S. Vasudevan (FCS No: 9495, CP No: 27636, Peer Review No: 6608/2025, UDIN: F009495H000380558) and dated 16th May 2026 from Chennai, examined the company's adherence to applicable SEBI regulations, circulars, and guidelines during the review period.
Non-Compliances Identified for FY26
The report identified two specific deviations from SEBI regulatory requirements during the review period. Both instances carried a fine amount of NIL, indicating no monetary penalty was levied. The details are summarised below:
| Compliance Requirement: | Details |
|---|---|
| Deviation 1 – QR Code Omission: | QR Code was not published in the newspaper advertisement for financial results in terms of Regulation 47(1) of the SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015, read with FAQ dated 23rd April 2025. |
| Applicable Regulation: | Regulation 47(1) of SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015 |
| Fine Amount: | NIL |
| Deviation 2 – BSE Filing Path Non-Compliance: | Outcome of the Board Meeting along with Financial Results in PDF mode were not submitted on both prescribed BSE Listing Centre paths as required under the BSE Notice dated 2nd April 2025. |
| Applicable Circular: | BSE Notice dated 2nd April 2025 |
| Fine Amount: | NIL |
Regulation 47(1) of SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015 requires a listed entity to publish a newspaper advertisement within forty-eight hours of the conclusion of the board meeting at which financial results are approved. The advertisement must contain a Quick Response (QR) code and details of the webpage hosting the complete financial results. The company's failure to include the QR Code in the relevant newspaper advertisement constitutes the first reported deviation.
The second deviation pertains to the BSE Notice dated 2nd April 2025, which mandates that the Outcome of the Board Meeting along with Financial Results in PDF mode be submitted within prescribed timelines of 30 minutes or 3 hours, as applicable, through two specific paths on the BSE Listing Centre under Listing Compliance → Corporate Announcement. The company did not submit the requisite documents on both paths as required.
Remediation of Prior-Year Non-Compliance
The report also reviewed actions taken against observations raised in the secretarial compliance report for the year ended 31st March 2025. The prior-year report had flagged that the yearly disclosure under Regulation 31(4) of SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011 had not been submitted to the stock exchanges within the prescribed timeline. The company has since addressed this gap, with the Practising Company Secretary confirming compliance for Financial Year 2025-26.
| Prior-Year Observation: | Details |
|---|---|
| Regulation: | Regulation 31(4) & 31(5) of SEBI (SAST) Regulations, 2011 |
| Violation: | Declaration not made within seven working days from the end of each financial year |
| Remedial Action: | Complied for Financial Year 2025-26 |
| PCS Comments: | Nil |

| Compliance Parameter: | Status | Observations |

| Adoption and updation of Policies | Yes, partly complied | RPT Policy reviewed but not timely updated as per SEBI regulations/circulars/guidelines |

The report noted partial compliance in two areas: the timely updation of the Related Party Transaction (RPT) Policy and the maintenance of accurate web-links on the company's website under Regulation 27(2) of SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015. No actions were taken against the listed entity, its promoters, directors, or subsidiaries by SEBI or stock exchanges during the review period.

Will SEBI introduce stricter monetary penalties for QR code omissions and BSE filing path non-compliances in future regulatory updates, given the current NIL fine structure may not deter repeat violations?
How might TwentyFirst Century Management Services' partial compliance on RPT Policy updates and website maintenance impact investor confidence and potential institutional interest in the company?
Could the recurring pattern of procedural non-compliances at TwentyFirst Century Management Services signal deeper governance gaps that may affect its subsidiary, Twentyfirst Century Shares and Securities Limited?
