Regulatory Compliance

The allotment was conducted in accordance with multiple regulatory frameworks. The company filed the necessary disclosures under Regulation 30 of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, and provided details as required under Regulation 10(c) of the SEBI (Share Based Employee Benefits and Sweat Equity) Regulations, 2021.

Balaji Telefilms Limited has received penalty notices from both BSE and NSE for regulatory non-compliance, with the company disclosing fines totaling ₹9.00 lakh plus GST under SEBI's disclosure requirements. The penalties were communicated through official correspondence received on February 27, 2026, with the company providing detailed regulatory disclosure on March 04, 2026.

Penalty Details and Regulatory Violations

Both stock exchanges have imposed identical fines on the entertainment company for violations of corporate governance norms. The penalties stem from non-compliance with Regulation 17(1) of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Nature of Compliance Breach

The fines were levied specifically for delays in appointing a new independent director to replace a retiring independent director. This violation relates to the company's board composition requirements under SEBI's listing regulations, which mandate timely replacement of independent directors to maintain corporate governance standards.

According to the company's detailed regulatory filing, the breach occurred due to delay in appointing new Independent Director in place of retiring Independent Director, leading to temporary non-compliance with the prescribed board composition norms.

Remedial Action and Company Response

The company has addressed the compliance issue by appointing Mr. Pankaj Baikunthnath Chaturvedi as Additional Director (Non-Executive Independent) to the board. This appointment became effective December 30, 2025, successfully rectifying the regulatory non-compliance.

Company's Explanation for Disclosure Delay

In its detailed response to the exchanges, Balaji Telefilms acknowledged that the regulatory disclosure was inadvertently missed by the company. The company stated that it remains committed to adhering to regulatory requirements and has always prioritized compliance with applicable laws. Management has assured that measures will be implemented to ensure no such instance of delay takes place in future.

Financial Impact Assessment

According to the company's disclosure, the penalties will have minimal impact on its operations and financial activities. The company specifically stated that there is no impact on financial, operational or other activities except to the extent of penalty payable to both exchanges.

The company has made this disclosure pursuant to Regulation 30 of SEBI regulations and has confirmed that the information is available on its official website at www.balajitelefilms.com for stakeholder reference.
