Impairment charge, a non-cash charge, was taken by the Company due to the Global Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and its applicability worldwide," said Brightcom Group Limited.   "The company represented to SEBI that the said audit was unnecessary because several internet companies had to take such charges globally, owing to the GDPR norms," it added.   "However, SEBI on 25th February 2022 (Friday) intimated the company that this audit would be necessary.
