Annual Secretarial Compliance Report under Regulation 24(A)_2025-26

Universal Office Automation Limited submitted its Annual Secretarial Compliance Report for FY 2025-26 on May 29, 2026. The report by Practicing CS Nishant Rana identified two compliance deviations: (1) a delay in filing the previous year's secretarial compliance report (FY 2024-25), resulting in a BSE fine of INR 25,960 inclusive of GST, which was paid on July 11, 2025; and (2) the Compliance Officer is not in whole-time employment of the company, violating Regulation 6(1) of SEBI LODR. This second issue remains unresolved as the PCS noted that merely submitting a remuneration waiver letter may not fully satisfy the regulatory requirement. Previous compliance issues including delays in related party transaction disclosures and board meeting intimation were noted as rectified. Overall, the company showed compliance in most areas including secretarial standards, website maintenance, insider trading norms, and director disqualification checks.
