While computing the requirement of minimum 50% shareholding of non- promoters in demat form in a company, the government holding in non-promoter category may be excluded2.

1.1.2. In order to further promote dematerialization of securities, encourage orderly development of the securities market and to improve transparency in the dealings of shares by promoters including pledge / usage as collateral, SEBI in consultation with Stock Exchanges, has decided that the securities of companies shall be traded in the normal segment of the exchange if and only if, the company has achieved 100% of promoter’s and promoter group’s shareholding in dematerialized form latest by the quarter ended December 20113 as reported to the stock exchanges4.

1.1.3. In light of representations received from various companies and in consultation with Stock Exchanges, it has been decided that following exemptions shall be taken into consideration while arriving at compliance with 100% promoter(s) holding in demat form. Such exemption shall be applicable in cases where5 :-

1.1.3.1. Promoter(s) have sold their shares in physical mode and such shares have not been lodged for transfer with the company; or

1.1.3.2. Matters concerning part/entire shareholding of promoters/promoter group are sub judice before any Court/Tribunal; or

1.1.3.3. Shares cannot be converted into demat form due to death of any promoter(s); or

1.1.3.4. Shares allotted to promoter(s) that await final approval for listing from stock exchange and such pendency is less than 30 days or shares that upon receipt of final listing approval from stock exchange are pending conversion to demat and such pendency is less than 15 days.

1.1.6. In addition to above measures, in the following cases (except for the original scrips, on which derivatives products are available or included in indices on which derivatives products are available) the trading shall take place in TFT segment for first 10 trading days with applicable price band while keeping the price band open on the first day of trading.

2. Unauthenticated news circulated by SEBI Registered Market Intermediaries through various modes of communication7

2.1. It has been observed by SEBI that unauthenticated news related to various scrips are circulated in blogs/chat forums/e-mail etc. by employees of Broking Houses/Other Intermediaries without adequate caution as mandated in the Code of Conduct for Stock Brokers and respective Regulations of various intermediaries registered with SEBI.

2.2. It was also observed that the Intermediaries do not have proper internal controls and do not ensure that proper checks and balances are in place to govern the conduct of their employees. Due to lack of proper internal controls and poor training,employees of such intermediaries are sometimes not aware of the damage which can be caused by circulation of unauthenticated news or rumours. It is a well-established fact that market rumours can do considerable damage to the normal functioning and behaviour of the market and distort the price discovery mechanisms.

2.3. In view of the above facts, SEBI Registered Market Intermediaries are directed that:

2.3.1. Proper internal code of conduct and controls should be put in place.

2.3.2. Employees/temporary staff/voluntary workers etc. employed/working in the Offices of market intermediaries do not encourage or circulate rumours or unverified information obtained from client, industry, any trade or any other sources without verification.

2.3.3. Access to Blogs/Chat forums/Messenger sites etc. should either be restricted under supervision or access should not be allowed.

2.3.4. Logs for any usage of such Blogs/Chat forums/Messenger sites (called by any nomenclature) shall be treated as records and the same should be maintained as specified by the respective Regulations which govern the concerned intermediary.

2.3.5. Employees should be directed that any market related news received by them either in their official mail/personal mail/blog or in any other manner, should be forwarded only after the same has been seen and approved by the concerned Intermediary’s Compliance Officer. If an employee fails to do so, he/she shall be deemed to have violated the various provisions contained in SEBI Act/Rules/Regulations etc. and shall be liable for action. The Compliance Officer shall also be held liable for breach of duty in this regard8.
