Official source and legal ownership
Paragraph-wise Finin2min interpretation
Paragraph map
Assign Board, trustee, key-person and compliance responsibility.
Audience
Issuers/merchant bankers
Supersession
Check the circular’s consolidation/repeal annexure and later circulars before reliance.
Evidence
Official circular, paragraph, annexure, exchange/depository implementation circular, filing and control test.
Practical example
The regulated entity converts the exact master-circular paragraph into a control, identifies any exchange/depository implementation circular and tests one live transaction plus an exception.
Implementation and evidence controls
- Freeze the applicable entity class, product, transaction date and official instrument version.
- Map every control to its legal owner, enabling provision, responsible function, evidence and escalation route.
- Retain Board/committee approval, policy version, system configuration, maker-checker evidence, exception approval and regulatory filing acknowledgement.
- Re-test the control after an amendment, product change, outsourcing change, merger, customer-risk reclassification or supervisory observation.
Practical Q&A
Does the master circular replace the underlying Regulation?
No. It consolidates operational circulars and must be read with the Act and Regulation.
Can an older circular still apply?
Only after checking consolidation, repeal/saving and later amendments.
What must a local paragraph page show?
Exact paragraph, annexure/form, audience, trigger, evidence, consequence and supersession.
