The regulation 33 pertains to the submission of financial results to the exchange. Samruddhi Realty and Noble Polymers, however, have submitted the financial results but "not paid the applicable fines" BSE said.

Additionally, the entire promoter shareholding of the firms have been frozen from August 17 till further notice, the exchanges said.
