- Paragraph decode for InvIT - Inspection, audit and records: isolate the part of the circular dealing with audit, inspection, record preservation, working papers, systems evidence, regulatory letter and remediation instructions; record whether it creates a filing, disclosure, record, approval, investor/client communication or conduct control.
- Evidence decode for InvIT - Inspection, audit and records: connect the circular instruction to trust deed, investment management agreement, valuation report, project documents, distribution working, RPT note and trustee report and show who prepared, reviewed and approved the relevant working paper.
- Version decode: if SEBI lists an earlier and later circular for the same subject, preserve the supersession note and avoid using the older source for current work unless the matter is historical.
