SEBI Initiates Review of Market Infrastructure Regulations and Board Expansion
The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
The Securities and Exchange Board of India is undertaking a comprehensive review of its regulatory frameworks for market infrastructure institutions. The regulator proposed changes to director eligibility criteria for institutions like clearing corporations, along with new qualification norms for key officials such as chief technology officers. Separately, the Securities and Exchange Board of India proposed increasing its board from nine to 15 members and raising the minimum number of whole-time members from three to five.
Why it matters
The regulatory review aims to make rules more contemporary and streamline the Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements framework, while also strengthening the governance of market infrastructure institutions. Additionally, the regulator has proposed stronger monitoring of issue proceeds to improve transparency in how companies use funds raised from investors.
