CS ​ Amey A Patwardhan
Pursuant to the New Sebi Listing Regulations coming into effect replacing the Listing Agreement with Stock Exchanges, need was felt to revisit the framework of Periodic (Quarterly/ Six-monthly/ Yearly) Compliances that a Listed Entity having listed its ‘specified’ securities on the Stock Exchanges, has to submit. It is important to bear in mind that, now all filings to the Stock Exchanges are to be made vide the online platform made available by respective stock exchange, e.g. BSE Online of BSE Ltd. and NEAPS of National Stock Exchange of India Ltd.
Enclosed is the list of minimum periodic compliances to be done by a Listed Entity pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Act and SEBI Regulations.
