Stanley Lifestyles informed exchanges that its step-down subsidiary, Sana Lifestyles Limited, received a show cause notice from the Registrar of Companies, Bangalore (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) on August 12, 2025. The notice, issued under Section 188(5)(ii) of the Companies Act, 2013, alleges violations of Sections 188 and 184 related to substantial related party transactions during FY 2021-22 that were carried out without fresh or omnibus Board approvals and with inadequate disclosure in AOC-2. The authority has also asked for domestic transfer pricing audit reports and proof of arm's length pricing. The expected financial implication indicated is ₹5 lakh each for four directors/ex-directors, though no penalty has been imposed at this stage. The subsidiary is evaluating appropriate representations in the matter.
The notice is at an early stage with no penalty imposed yet, so the immediate financial impact on Stanley Lifestyles is limited. However, adverse outcomes could lead to penalties on directors of the subsidiary and potential governance scrutiny, which may weigh on investor sentiment in the short term.
