NSE imposed a fine of Rs 12.05 lakh on State Trading Corp (STC) for not having the required number of Independent Directors on its Board for the quarter ended 30 June 2026. The fine covers non-compliance with SEBI LODR regulations 17, 18, 19 and 20. STC has requested a waiver since as a PSU, director appointments are controlled by the Ministry of Commerce.
Modest fine of about Rs 12 lakh; company is seeking waiver. Root cause is shortage of independent directors, a common issue at PSUs awaiting ministry action.
