Sebi tweaks framework for ESG rating providers using subscriber-pays model

Markets regulator Sebi has tweaked the framework for ESG Rating Providers (ERPs), especially for those using a subscriber-pays model, requiring them to share ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) rating reports with both subscribers and the rated issuer simultaneously. This policy needs to be publicly disclosed. To give this effect, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has amended rules governing credit rating agencies in a bid to enhance clarity and transparency. "An ESG rating provider following a subscriber-pays business model shall share the ESG rating report with its subscribers and the rated entity or the issuer whose securities have been rated at the same time and provide two working days to such rated entity or the issuer to provide its comments," Sebi said in its notification issued on Tuesday. Further, all comments or clarifications received from the rated entity within the specified timeline will be included in the addendum to the ESG rating report by

Sebi revises NAV cut-off timings for MF overnight scheme redemptions

Markets regulator Sebi on Tuesday announced a change in cut-off timings to determine the net asset value (NAV) with respect to repurchase or redemptions of units in overnight schemes of mutual funds. The changes will allow time for stock brokers (SBs), or clearing members (CMs) to un-pledge units of Mutual Fund Overnight Schemes (MFOS) and place redemption requests with mutual funds, after the close of market hours. For applications received up to 3 pm, the closing NAV of day immediately preceding the next business day will be applicable. For applications received after 3 pm, the closing NAV of the next business day will be applicable, Sebi said in its circular. However, in case application is received through online mode, the cut-off timing of 7 pm will be applicable for overnight fund schemes, it added. The new timings will become effective from June 1.

Sebi may extend relief to NCDs from sending physical financial statements

Markets regulator Sebi on Monday proposed limited relaxation to issuers of listed non-convertible debt securities from the requirement to send hard copies of key financial documents to investors. In its consultation paper, the regulator has proposed extending an exemption pertaining to Regulation 58(1)(b), which mandates sending hard copies of financial statements and related documents to holders of non-convertible securities who have not registered their email addresses. The move is in line with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs' (MCA) decision to extend similar relaxations until September 30, 2025. Based on the MCA's extension and stakeholder requests, Sebi proposed "no penal" action for entities having listed non-convertible securities for not sending physical copies of financial statements, including the board's report, the auditor's report and other documents. Sebi said that entities having listed non-convertible securities and have not sent hard copy of statement to those ...

Sebi extends auto trading window rules to kin of designated persons

Markets regulator Sebi on Monday extended its automated trading window closure mechanism to include immediate relatives of designated persons (DPs) in listed companies, ahead of the declaration of financial results. This move aims to prevent inadvertent non-compliance with insider trading norms by ensuring that those who may have access to unpublished price-sensitive information (UPSI) such as quarterly results are prohibited from trading during specific periods. Earlier, the restriction applied only to DPs. Now, Sebi has extended the scope to cover their immediate relatives as well, according to its circular. As per Sebi's definition, an immediate relative includes a spouse, and also a parent, sibling, or child (of the person or the spouse), provided they are financially dependent or consult the person in decisions related to trading in securities. This move follows a system already in place for DPs, which uses PAN-based trading freeze. To ensure a smooth rollout, the implementa

Govt to take necessary action in Gensol case after examining Sebi's order

The corporate affairs ministry on Monday said it will take necessary action in the Gensol Engineering matter after examining market regulator Sebi's order against the company. Last week, Sebi barred the company's promoters Anmol Singh Jaggi and Puneet Singh Jaggi from the securities market for various violations. The order came amid accusations of siphoning off loan funds from their publicly listed company Gensol Engineering for personal use, raising concerns over corporate governance and financial misconduct. When contacted, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) told PTI that it is examining the Sebi order in light of the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.

Sebi finds only 2-3 labourers, no EV production at Gensol's Pune unit

Markets regulator Sebi has said it found "no manufacturing activity" at Gensol Engineering's electric vehicle (EV) plant in Pune with only 2-3 labourers present when a National Stock Exchange (NSE) official visited the site. These revelations were part of markets regulator Sebi's interim order issued on April 15 following a complaint received in June 2024 alleging manipulation of Gensol's share price and misappropriation of funds. In its order, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) found discrepancies as well as misleading disclosures to investors by Gensol Engineering, a company promoted by brothers Anmol Singh Jaggi and Puneet Singh Jaggi. One of the disclosures came from an investigation conducted by the NSE, which revealed a lack of manufacturing activity at Gensol's EV plant -- Gensol Electric Vehicle Private Ltd -- at Chakan in Pune. During a site visit to the facility on April 9, an NSE official found only 2-3 labourers present. "It was found that there was no .
