How to apply this control

1. Freeze the facts

Record the entity, security or product, transaction, decision-maker, counterparty, amount and event date.

2. Locate the provision

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

3. Add subordinate implementation

Map the current Master Circular, later circular, exchange/depository specification and filing format without treating them as the Regulation itself.

4. Preserve evidence

Default searches, approvals, security plan, trustee acceptance and eligibility certificate.

Evidence checklist

  • Applicable legal version and amendment date.
  • Named business and compliance owner.
  • Approval, filing, acknowledgement and communication trail.
  • Maker-checker, exception and escalation evidence.
  • Post-event reconciliation and breach assessment.

Common failure

Avoid: Testing eligibility only at mandate date rather than at document, issue and listing milestones.

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.

Educational and professional reference only — not financial, tax or legal advice. Verify the current official position from the primary source before relying on any figure, rate, provision or deadline.
