How to apply this control
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
Application, approvals, ownership records, fit-and-proper declarations and SEBI correspondence.
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.

Common failure
Avoid: Treating registration as a one-time event rather than a continuing condition.
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.
