Audit Committee Findings and Corrective Actions
The Audit Committee's examination on 29th April 2026 revealed that RPPL was not identified as a Designated or Connected Person at the relevant time due to non-availability of complete disclosure under the prescribed framework. The committee found no instance of trading while in possession of Unpublished Price Sensitive Information (UPSI) and concluded the matter represents a disclosure-dependent identification gap rather than a violation of Regulation 4(1) of the PIT Regulations.
The company has implemented several corrective measures including post-facto classification of RPPL as a Promoter Group entity, communication of PIT compliance requirements, strengthening of disclosure and internal control mechanisms, and temporary freezing of securities at ISIN level during the review process.
Conservative Disgorgement Methodology
Despite concluding no violation occurred, the company adopted a conservative approach to evaluate notional gain using the formula: Notional Gain = (Closing Price on Benchmark Date – WAP of shares acquired during Trading Window closure) × Quantity of Shares (2,000 Shares). Any notional gain determined will be advised for disgorgement to the Investor Protection and Education Fund (IPEF) in accordance with SEBI provisions. If the computation results in a negative value, the notional gain shall be considered as Nil.
The disclosure was made pursuant to Regulation 30 read with Schedule III of the SEBI LODR Regulations and SEBI Circular dated July 23, 2020, reflecting the company's commitment to transparency, good governance, and regulatory prudence.
