4. Preserve evidence
Engagement letters, responsibility matrix, due diligence and issue chronology.

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.
