The Institute of Company Secretaries of India highlighted the facility of integrated filing of disclosures enabled under Regulation 10(1A) of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. This mechanism allows listed entities to submit periodic reports, statements, and other disclosures through a single filing system. The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) have issued circulars updating the list of disclosures covered under this system, supported by API-based integration between the exchanges. Entities listed on both exchanges can use this unified system to avoid duplicate filings, while entities listed on only one exchange must continue filing separately with their respective exchange. Members were advised to avoid multiple submissions of the same disclosure and to use the integrated mechanism efficiently. The Institute also invited feedback from members regarding practical challenges in implementation for further representation before regulators and exchanges.
