United Spirits, wherein UB Group has sold majority control to UK-based liquor giant Diageo, has also been found in non-compliance to the provision related to reconciliation of share capital audit report. USL as also UB group’s holding company United Breweries Holdings were slapped with fines last year for late submission of financial results.

In a warning on non-compliance by listed firms, Sebi Chairman U K Sinha had said the promoters must face the penal action first and the trading suspension or delisting would be the last resort so as to safeguard the interest of investors.
