Binny mills has submitted its secretarial compliance report for the financial year ended March 31, 2024, under Regulation 24A of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. The report, conducted by practicing company secretary Rajiblochan Sarangi of RLS & Associates, reveals several compliance violations and regulatory challenges faced by the textile company during the review period.
Regulatory Violations and Board Constitution Issues
The report highlights significant governance challenges during FY24. The company experienced multiple litigations and faced a SEBI case filed in 2021 concerning financial irregularities for the years 2013-14 to 2020-21. This case culminated in a SEBI order dated July 31, 2024. These issues resulted in the Board of Directors not being duly constituted during 2023-24, along with improper formation of statutory committees, leading to violations of SEBI (LODR) Regulations 2015.
Financial Penalties and Delayed Submissions
Binny Limited incurred substantial penalties from BSE for delayed regulatory filings during the review period:
| Violation Type | Due Date Missed | Penalty Amount | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Audited Financial Results FY23 | March 31, 2023 | ₹2.89 lakhs | Paid in September-October 2023 |
| Quarterly Results Q1 & Q2 FY24 | June & September 2023 | ₹1.71 lakhs | Paid in December 2023 |
| Secretarial Compliance Report FY23 | March 31, 2023 | ₹2.84 lakhs | Paid in June-July 2023 |
| Total Penalties | ₹5.44 lakhs |
The report also notes that shareholding patterns for quarters ended December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2024, were filed after the due dates.
SEBI Actions and Market Restrictions
SEBI has taken significant enforcement action against the company under sections 11(4A) and 11B(2) read with sections 15HA and 15HB of the SEBI Act. The regulatory action includes:
- Imposition of penalties on the company, promoters, directors, and CFO
- Two-year ban from accessing securities markets from July 31, 2024
- Prohibition from buying, selling, or dealing in securities directly or indirectly
- Restriction from association with any listed company or SEBI registered intermediary as director or key managerial person
Compliance Status and Observations
Despite the violations, the report indicates compliance in several areas:
| Compliance Area | Status | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Secretarial Standards | Compliant | Nil observations |
| Policy Adoption | Compliant | Policies updated as per regulations |
| Director Disqualification | Compliant | No disqualified directors |
| Document Preservation | Compliant | Records maintained as prescribed |
| Performance Evaluation | Compliant | Board evaluation conducted |
However, the company's website was not properly updated with all required information, and financial results for FY24 were not submitted in XBRL format as required under Regulation 33.
Additional Non-Compliance Issues
The report identifies two additional significant non-compliance matters:
- Financial results and statements for FY24 were not submitted in XBRL format under the 'Integrated Financials' section on the stock exchange portal
- The company failed to convene its Annual General Meeting by the September 30, 2024 deadline
Subsidiary Information
Binny Limited has one subsidiary, Binny New Re Energy Limited, which has yet to commence business operations. The subsidiary was classified as non-material for disclosure purposes.
The secretarial compliance report emphasizes that since the company's securities were not listed as of March 31, 2024, the entity was not technically required to obtain this report. However, it was submitted as a matter of prudence following the prescribed format under SEBI regulations.
