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.
Market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) could soon get more teeth to monitor the end-use of money raised through initial public offerings by companies. The ministry of corporate affairs (MCA), which currently performs this role through the registrar of companies, wants Sebi to be roped in for this task, since companies divert funds through complex mechanisms that require expert hands to track.
Sources said the Sebi committee was comprehensively reviewing open offers and may raise the open offer trigger to 25 per cent from 15 per cent now — the reason being that 26 per cent shareholding in India gives acquirers the power to block special resolutions for important decisions during shareholder meetings.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India’s (Sebi) committee on takeovers headed by C Achuthan is seriously considering making it mandatory for boards of target companies to guide shareholders in the event of competitive bids in line with global best practice.

“In the primary issuance process, Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIBs) that currently pay only 10% margin while applying will be required to pay 100 per cent money in line with what other investors are required to do for all the issues that open on or after May 1, 2010.”
