Securities Markets Code Bill caps Sebi's inspection, probe powers at 8 yrs

The Securities Markets Code (SMC) Bill draws a clear line on capital markets regulator Sebi's enforcement reach by imposing an eight-year statutory limit on inspections and investigations, a move aimed at preventing prolonged regulatory overhang on market participants. However, this eight-year limitation will not apply to cases that have a systemic impact on the securities market. Apart from setting a time bar, the Bill also introduced a time-bound enforcement framework. It mandates Sebi to complete investigations within 180 days, while simultaneously strengthening investor protection through the introduction of an Ombudsperson-led grievance redressal mechanism. The Bill, which was introduced in the Lok Sabha last week, requires Sebi to set aside 25 per cent of its annual surplus in a Reserve Fund for expenses, with the remaining surplus transferred to the Consolidated Fund of India. According to a person familiar with the matter, the eight-year limit would bring legal certainty an

Former Sebi chief Sinha urges caution as private credit lending grows fast

Former Sebi chairman U K Sinha on Thursday cautioned the alternatives sector about the growth in private credit, reminding that the lending is being made to a set of borrowers who are deemed to be unfit by banks. Sinha, who demitted Sebi office in 2017 after an over six-year stint at the helm, said there is also a need to increase the support given by the venture capital funds to the growing startup ecosystem, underscoring that an economy like ours requires the support. Making it clear that he has nothing against private credit, Sinha said he would like to advice some caution given the "rush" towards it. "Whom are you (the industry) providing the private credit? You are providing it to people who have for some reason not been able to get the bank credit, who for some reason have been found not to be fit, to be worthy of the bank credit," Sinha said, addressing a CII event on Alternative Investment Funds here. The career bureaucrat-turned-regulator who is now involved with the ...
