2. Locate the provision
Open the official consolidated Regulation and identify the exact numbered provision, proviso, explanation and Schedule.

Map the current Master Circular, later circular, exchange/depository specification and filing format without treating them as the Regulation itself.
4. Preserve evidence
Valuation policy, independent reports, fee workings, conflict register and approvals.
Evidence checklist
- Applicable legal version and amendment date.
- Named business and compliance owner.

- Post-event reconciliation and breach assessment.
Common failure
Avoid: Charging or allocating an expense because it appears in a model rather than the governing documents and law.
Finin2min Q&A
Is this page the legal text?
No. It is an implementation guide. Use the official SEBI consolidated Regulation for the exact wording and numbering.
Does a successful exchange or portal filing prove compliance?
No. Acceptance proves a system transaction; it does not cure wrong applicability, approvals, disclosures, timing or evidence.
What should be checked after an amendment?
Effective date, saved actions, forms, policies, system rules, open transactions, board approvals and investor/client communications.
