The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has proposed changes to make the debt securities listing framework simpler and more flexible. One key proposal is to remove the requirement for an issuer to mandatorily list its previously issued unlisted debt securities when it lists a new debt issue.
SEBI has also proposed increasing the annual limit on ISINs for privately placed debt securities from 14 to 17, giving issuers more flexibility to raise and manage funds through multiple debt instruments.
🔑 Key Points:
- 🏦 SEBI wants to simplify debt-market listing rules.
- 📋 Proposal to remove the mandatory listing of past unlisted debt issues.
- 🔢 Annual ISIN limit proposed to increase from 14 to 17.
- 📈 Plain-vanilla debt ISIN limit proposed to rise from 9 to 12.
- 💰 Changes could give companies greater flexibility in raising debt capital.
- 🌱 SEBI has also proposed keeping ESG debt securities outside the ISIN cap.
- 📝 The proposals are aimed at reducing compliance burden and improving ease of doing business.
SEBI ne debt securities ke listing framework ko easier aur more flexible banane ke liye naye proposals rakhe hain. Regulator ne suggest kiya hai ki jab koi issuer pehli baar apni debt securities list kare, toh uske purane unlisted debt issues ko mandatory list karne ki requirement hata di jaye. Isse companies ke liye compliance aur operational burden kam ho sakta hai. (Business Standard)
