CreditAccess Grameen Limited has paid a regulatory fine of ₹1.35 lakh plus applicable taxes to BSE Limited for delayed compliance with chairperson appointment regulations. The company announced the payment on February 28, 2026, following receipt of BSE's communication dated February 27, 2026.

Updated Regulatory Violation Details

The fine was imposed for delayed compliance with Regulation 17(1) of the SEBI Listing Regulations during the quarter ended December 31, 2025. The violation specifically related to the delay in appointing a Non-Executive Chairperson of the Board between October 01, 2025, and October 27, 2025.

Background of the Compliance Issue

The regulatory gap occurred due to the completion of the erstwhile Chairperson's tenure on September 08, 2025. The company was required to appoint a Non-Executive Chairperson immediately following this date to maintain compliance with SEBI Listing Regulations. CreditAccess Grameen subsequently appointed a Non-Executive Chairperson with effect from October 28, 2025, addressing the regulatory requirement. The company noted that no Board Meeting was scheduled or held during the violation period.
