June 06, 2026 (MLN): The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has concluded enforcement proceedings against 36 State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), imposing monetary penalties totaling Rs3.175 million through 46 adjudication orders, with warning orders issued in 12 additional cases.

The proceedings followed 66 Show Cause Notices (SCNs) issued by the SECP in March 2026 to 41 SOEs for violations, according to a press release issued.

The violations included failure to submit annual audited financial statements and annual returns within prescribed timelines, non-compliance with disclosure requirements, and breaches of Corporate Governance Regulations.

Proceedings have since been concluded in 58 cases.

Penalties ranged from Rs25,000 for failure to file annual returns to Rs50,000 for failure to file both annual returns and financial statements.

The highest penalty of Rs225,000 was imposed for repeated non-compliance with statutory filing requirements.

Several SOEs regularized their compliance by filing outstanding annual returns following receipt of the SCNs.

To support this process, the SECP established a dedicated help desk to assist SOEs with annual returns and other statutory filings.

Copies of adjudication orders have been shared with the relevant Principal Accounting Officers and the Director General of the Central Monitoring Unit for follow-up.

The SECP has advised all SOEs to strengthen internal compliance systems and ensure timely fulfilment of statutory obligations to avoid future enforcement action.

The following is a company-wise breakdown of adjudication and warning orders:
