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

SID, SAI, KIM, investment mandate, pre-trade controls and breach register.

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: Relying on a broad scheme label without applying the precise investment and borrowing conditions.

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.
