Review Period and Auditors
The review, conducted by M/s. Parikh & Associates, covered the period ending December 31, 2025. The scope examined adherence to core regulatory frameworks governing listed entities, including documentation, public filings, and website maintenance throughout the review period.
Key Findings and Observations
The report generally affirmed compliance across major governance areas, including Secretarial Standards compliance, timely policy updates, website maintenance, director qualifications, preservation of documents, performance evaluations, and related party transaction approvals. However, the report detailed one specific compliance gap from the previous year’s review:
Historical Compliance Gap Remediation
The auditors noted a breach in the maximum prescribed time gap between two consecutive meetings of the Review Management Committee (RMC) held in 2024, which exceeded the 180-day limit by 16 days (total gap was 196 days). The company has since ensured that the gap between subsequent RMC meetings during the current year was maintained within the prescribed timeline.
Areas Not Applicable (NA)
Certain disclosures were marked as Not Applicable (NA) because they pertain to requirements the company does not currently engage with, specifically:
- Subsidiaries: The company confirmed it does not have a subsidiary, making disclosures regarding material subsidiaries inapplicable.
- Employee Benefit Schemes: The company confirmed it does not have any Employee Stock Option Scheme in place.
- Auditor Resignations: There were no resignations of statutory auditors from the company or its material subsidiaries during the financial year.
