The government today said market regulator Sebi does not monitor usage of proceeds of any initial public offers (IPOs) and it is not contemplating any change in the current regulatory framework.

"Monitor of usage of issue proceeds is not under the purview of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi). The Sebi has, however, mandated disclosure about usage of issue proceeds vis-a-vis objectives every quarter," Minister of State for Finance Namo Narain Meena said in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha.
