Though late but a right decision. Ownership details of any company should be available on their web site besides Ministry of corporate affairs. If any agency gets consequetive contrcts from any company, there should be watch and reasons/circumstances should be ascertained.The records of public limited company should made available to its share holders at least under RTI Act, when questioned specifically.
The high level committee has rightly recommended about the inclusion of shareholding pattern in the websites of CRAs in the comming days to come, if SEBI considers the view as appropriate.
In my view, every offer document should encompass this as well.
