The National Stock Exchange of India (NSE) is proposing a significant move from Portable Document Format (PDF) to eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) for corporate filings. The new format is designed to streamline the filing process and ease the compliance burden on listed entities.
XBRL is an open international standard for digital business reporting, managed by a global not-for-profit consortium, XBRL International. XBRL is used around the world, in more than 50 countries. Millions of XBRL documents are created every year, replacing older, paper-based reports with more useful, effective and accurate digital versions.
The NSE has communicated this proposal to all listed entities, seeking comments and feedback on this transition for announcements related to “Loss of Share Certificate/ Issue of Duplicate Share Certificate” and “Closure of Trading Window”.
The goal is to implement a standardized structure for these filings, which would not only simplify compliance but also allow for more effective data analysis. This change falls under the mandate of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (SEBI LODR), and SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015 (SEBI PIT).
The NSE’s move towards digitization aligns with a global trend in financial markets. This transition is expected to significantly reduce manual work, enhance data accuracy, and ensure easier data access for regulators and investors.
