SEBI has received queries from Stock Exchanges regarding course of action to be taken against the stock-brokers, who are having multiple memberships, and have been declared defaulter at one of the Stock Exchanges. It has also been brought to our notice that if a stock broker is declared defaulter by a stock exchange, the information with regard to his default, is not being passed on to other Stock Exchanges.
Clarifications have been sought on the scope of the SEBI directions issued on December 23, 1996 as to whether it would cover corporates or only infrastructure companies and municipal corporations, and further whether the directions also cover debt instruments convertible into equity.
