Sebi mulls easing rules for issuers of non-convertible securities
The relaxation from sending physical copies of financials will result in cost savings and prevent paper wastage. Also, this would lead to regulatory consistency and ease of doing business.
In its consultation paper, Sebi suggested that issuers should send a letter providing the quick response code and web link, including the exact path, where complete details of the annual report are available, to holders of non-convertible securities.
The provision of a QR code is proposed to be incorporated to facilitate ease of access for the debenture holders, the regulator said.
Additionally, Sebi proposed specifying timelines for issuers having listed non-convertible securities regarding the requirements of sending a copy of financials to the debenture holders.
'Unlike entities having listed specified securities, there are issuers having listed non-convertible securities, which are not constituted under the Companies Act, 2013, and hence, the timelines specified under the Companies Act, 2013, with respect to sending of copy of financials to the debenture holders are not applicable upon them. Therefore, there is a need to specify timelines within which the issuer is required to comply with the said requirements," Sebi said.
To provide a timeline for the issuer, Sebi proposed that for listed entities, which are companies, the timelines specified under the Companies Act, 2013, should be applicable.
For listed entities, which are constituted under some other Act or statute, the relevant provisions of their parent Act or statute should be applicable. In the absence of any such provision, a timeline of 21 days in line with the provisions of the Companies Act, 2013, should be provided.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has sought public comments till August 15 on the proposals. PTI SP SP BAL BAL

Last Updated: G Balasubramanian said PM Modi is the first head of state who is visiting Maldives under the presidency of Mohd Muizzu as a state guest 'India has always been there for Maldives as a first responder…our national interests coincide," Indian High Commissioner to Maldives, G Balasubramanian, has told CNN-News18 amidst Prime Minister Narendra Modi's two-day visit to the island nation. 'The ties are historical; we have been there for Maldives as a first responder. We have had wonderful relations despite the changes in the domestic politics. Our national interests coincide," the High Commissioner said, a day after the two sides held delegation-level meetings and signed a host of agreements, including a new Rs 4,850 crore credit line for Maldives by India. 'It is a pleasure to have PM Modi invited as Guest of Honour at the Independence Day celebrations here. This is the first head of state who is visiting Maldives under the presidency of Mohd Muizzu as a state guest. So, this is very important. This is a significant milestone that both countries have achieved on the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between them," Balasubramanian told CNN-News18. He explained how the relationship encompasses political, cultural, trade and economic relations. 'There is a huge connection between both the countries. This visit will I am sure give further fillip to these ties," he said. Asked if China is always the elephant in the room when it comes to India-Maldives relations, the High Commissioner said: 'History is proof that as a geographical neighbour of Maldives, and as the first responder of Maldives, our relationship has always stood the test of time." On Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri's statement on Friday of putting behind some statements from Maldives in the past and looking at the future, Balasubramanian said: 'I would only further state what our foreign secretary said (about the past being past). We do have a very strong relationship and such visits and interactions between both countries add value to the relationship. It is a strong relationship." He narrated how people had queued up in Maldives to see PM Modi. 'He is a very popular leader and people here from India and Maldivians too are enthused," the High Commissioner said. Balasubramanian said more than eight initiatives were undertaken during the meetings. 'We will start negotiations on the Free Trade Agreement (FTA), and we have already finalised the terms of reference for the FTA. We have also signed implementation agreement for UPI which is a big thing in India, and it is growing abroad to help movement of people and facilitate things," he said. view comments First Published: July 26, 2025, 10:51 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
