Securities and Exchange Board of India [SEBI] has, on 5 April 2010, directed Stock Exchanges [SE] to amend the Equity Listing Agreement [LA]. The amendments to LA puts in place of earlier decisions of SEBI Board meetings held on 22 September 2009 and 9 November 2009 and are applicable to companies listed on SE in India. The highlights of the amendments to LA are as under:
Reduces time for disclosing results; solvency position to be disclosed every 6 months. The Securities and the Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has reduced the period within which companies can announce their annual financial numbers. The regulator has also made it mandatory for all listed entities to disclose their asset-liability and solvency positions every six months.
With a view to improve transparency and corporate governance, market regulator SEBI made it mandatory for all listed companies to disclose their financial results within 45 days of the end of every quarter. Companies would also be required to disclose their audited financial statements within 60 days of every financial year end, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) said while amending the equity listing agreement.
As part of its review of the existing disclosure requirements and to bring more transparency and efficiency in the governance of listed entities, SEBI has made certain amendments to the Equity Listing Agreement, vide its circular dated 05 April 2010. The key amendments relate to the following:
It is a well known canon of construction that when Court is called upon to interpret provisions of a social welfare legislation the paramount duty of the Court is to adopt such an interpretation as to further the purposes of law and if possible eschew the one which frustrates it.
Market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India has directed stock exchanges to post all their regulatory orders and arbitration awards on websites from this fiscal to ensure greater transparency for investors. The exchanges have also been asked to post all such orders since April 1, 2007, on their websites within 30 days.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has given mutual fund (MF) distributors some more time to comply with its latest rules on the know-your-client (KYC) requirement. The regulator has also verbally directed registrars and transfer agents to pay distributors their arrears, wherever the KYC rules have been complied with.
SEBI is again taking up for hearing the case relating to the role of audit firm PriceWaterhouse in the multi-core Satyam fraud. This follows the rejection by SEBI of the audit firm’s application for a consent settlement earlier this month, a source said.
The initial public offer guidelines for the insurance sector is likely to announced next month, the Insurance Regulatory & Development Authority (Irda) said on Monday. “The guidelines could take a month time and Sebi will take the final call,” Irda chairman J Harinarayan said.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has never been armed with stronger draconian powers over the fate of Indian citizens. A recent opinion of the Supreme Court has held SEBI to be a social welfare organisation, and its powers under Sections 11(4) and 11B of the SEBI Act, 1992 (the Act) as not being “penal” in nature. Consequently, SEBI can issue directions to any person using these powers, even in relation to matters that occurred when these powers did not exist in the Act.
