SEBI has imposed a penalty of Rs 1 Crore on CDSL under Section 15HB of SEBI Act and Section 19G of Depositories Act, related to a malware incident from November 18, 2022. The order cites observations on cyber security and operational resilience matters. CDSL states there is no material impact on financials or operations except for the penalty amount. Order received July 20, 2026.
Small penalty relative to CDSL size. Company says no material financial or operational impact. May dent sentiment slightly on cyber security compliance concerns.
