TTL , a textile company listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), has been fined Rs 2,14,760 (including GST) for non-compliance with SEBI regulations regarding the continuation of non-executive directors who have attained the age of seventy-five years.
Non-Compliance Details
The non-compliance occurred due to the change in designation of Shri Rikhab Chand Jain from Executive Chairman & Director to Non-Executive Chairman & Director. As Shri Jain has attained the age of seventy-five years, his continuation in a non-executive role required shareholder approval as per Regulation 17(1A) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
Board's Response
The Board of Directors, in a meeting held on November 5, 2025, addressed the non-compliance issue:
- The Board noted that the non-compliance was unintentional and arose due to the timing of the Board's decision and the subsequent requirement of shareholder approval.
- Shareholder approval for the continuation of Shri Rikhab Chand Jain as Non-Executive Chairman was obtained at the Annual General Meeting held on September 24, 2025.
- The company has applied for a waiver of the fine imposed by the stock exchanges.
- The compliance team has been instructed to strengthen internal monitoring to prevent such occurrences in the future.
Fine Details
| Particulars | Amount (in Rs.) |
|---|---|
| Basic Fine | 1,82,000.00 |
| GST (18%) | 32,760.00 |
| Total Fine | 2,14,760.00 |
Regulatory Implications
The fine was levied under Regulation 17(1A) of SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015, which mandates special resolution approval for the appointment or continuation of non-executive directors who have attained the age of seventy-five years.
TTL has been given 15 days from the date of the notice to pay the fine. Failure to do so could result in further actions, including the freezing of promoter shareholding.
The company's prompt response and corrective measures, including obtaining shareholder approval and applying for a fine waiver, demonstrate its commitment to addressing the compliance issue. However, this incident underscores the importance of timely adherence to regulatory requirements, especially concerning corporate governance matters.
Investors and stakeholders will likely monitor the company's future compliance record and the outcome of its waiver application closely.
