Deccan Chronicle to be suspended from trading on January 23

16 Jan 2013 Evaluate

Troubles for Hyderabad-based media company, Deccan Chronicle Holdings (DCHL), which is facing financial problems, including a winding-up petition, does not seems to come to an end, as effective from January 23, trading in the company’s shares has been suspended.

According to a circular issued by the National Stock Exchange (NSE), non-compliance with the provisions of the listing agreement is the reason for the suspension from trading. This includes non-submission of corporate governance report, financial results and reconciliation of share capital audit report for the quarter ended September 30.

Meanwhile, BSE is yet to decide on the same issue as the media company did not submit its shareholding pattern, corporate governance report, financial results and reconciliation of share capital audit report for the September quarter. While, NSE suspends trading in a stock a quarter after the company's failure to submit the disclosures, BSE allocates two quarters for the same. However, since the two quarters came to end on December, BSE is yet to take a final call on the issue.

The financial distress in DCHL came to fore after company defaulted on redemption of non-convertible debentures held by IFCI. Canara Bank is conducting a forensic audit of DCHL’s accounts. Canara Bank has an exposure of Rs 330 crore to DCHL. The bank in the second quarter has made a provision of Rs 225 crore following the slippage on this account.
