Sebi eases cash flow disclosure norms in corporate bond database framework

Markets regulator Sebi has simplified the operational process and provided clarity on cash flow disclosure in the corporate bond database after a review of the Request for Quote (RFQ) Platform framework. In its latest circular, the regulator has made yield-to-price calculation on the RFQ platform easier. Now, only the due dates -- and not the actual payment dates -- mentioned in the cash flow schedule will be used for these calculations. This move is aimed at streamlining and simplifying the process of trade execution on the RFQ platform. As part of this simplification, yield-to-price will now be based on scheduled due dates, without applying any adjustments based on day count conventions.
