Sebi seeks comments on issue-proceeds monitoring review
In short
Sebi has asked for public comments on a plan to review how listed companies monitor and disclose issue proceeds. The paper is based on a working group report and also looks at penalties for non-compliance and related-party transaction rules.
This matters for listed companies and their investors because it could change reporting and enforcement rules. The final outcome is still unknown, and Sebi has only opened the consultation.
