Overview
- A designated person posted draft, unaudited third-quarter numbers to a personal WhatsApp status on January 9 at about 5:44 pm and deleted the post within an hour.
- The company said the figures remain subject to change during the ongoing audit and urged investors to rely only on results released after board approval.
- ICICI Lombard notified stock exchanges, will place the matter before its Audit Committee and Board, and has set January 13 for Q3 FY26 results approval.
- The filing did not identify the individual involved and described the disclosure as inadvertent.
- The incident follows a recent, similar case at Hatsun Agro, where a draft Q3 post on WhatsApp was seen by about 19 contacts.
