Asian Hotels (North) Ltd received notices of non-compliance from both BSE and NSE on February 27, 2026. Both exchanges imposed a fine of Rs. 4,48,400 each (inclusive of GST) for failing to comply with Regulation 17(1) of the Listing Regulations, which pertains to the composition of the Board of Directors including the requirement to have a woman director. The matter was presented to the Board on May 28, 2026. The company clarified that Ms. Karishma Kaur Gill was appointed as an Independent Non-executive Woman Director on December 16, 2025, and shareholders approved her appointment via Postal Ballot in February 2026. The company stated the non-compliance was not intentional and occurred due to the time-consuming process of finding the right candidate. Currently, the Board has 6 members with 3 Independent Directors including the woman director.
The fine is relatively modest (under Rs. 5 lakh total) and the compliance issue has been rectified with the appointment of a woman director. This should have minimal direct impact on the stock price, though it highlights governance gaps the company had to address.
