Frequently Asked Questions
January 19, 2016
SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015
Disclaimer: Based on queries/ comments received from market participants, these FAQs have
been prepared to provide guidance on the provisions of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure
Requirements) Regulations, 2015 ("the Regulations", "Listing Regulations", "LR") and circulars
issued there under. For full particulars of laws governing continuous disclosure requirements,
please refer to the Acts/Regulations/Guidelines/Circulars etc. appearing under the Legal
Framework Section of SEBI website i.e., www.sebi.gov.in and the websites of respective
recognized stock exchanges.
A. Definitions
Q1. Regulation 2(1)(b) of LR defines an ‘associate company’ to mean any entity which is an
associate under the Companies Act, 2013 or under the applicable accounting
standards. Whether both conditions have to be met or either of the two?
Answer: The definition of associate company should be viewed under the Companies
Act, 2013 as well as Accounting Standards. If the condition is met under either of the
two, then such entity should be classified as an associate company.
Q2. Regulation 2(1)(zb) of LR defines the term ‘Related party’ to mean related party under
the Companies Act, 2013 or under the applicable Accounting Standards. Whether both
conditions have to be met or either of the two?
Answer: The definition of related party should be viewed under the Companies Act,
2013 as well as Accounting Standards. If the condition is met under either of the two,
then such party should be classified as a related party.
B. Corporate Governance
Q3. Regulation 17(8) of LR requires a compliance certificate to the Board of directors by
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Whether the Managing
Director or Whole Time Director may certify the compliance certificate, when the
company has not designated a CEO?
Answer: Such certificates may be signed by the officials who hold powers, duties and
responsibilities of a CEO/ CFO irrespective of their designations.
2. Page 2 of 5
Q4. Regulation 23 (4) provides that all material related party transactions shall require
approval of the shareholders through resolution and the related parties shall abstain
from voting on such resolutions whether the entity is a related party to the particular
transaction or not. In this regard, whether only those related parties who are related
to the concerned transaction/ contract should abstain from voting or whether related
parties should altogether abstain from voting?
Answer: The requirement under Regulation 23(4), is applicable for listed entities subject
to the provisions of Regulation 15. Hence, for applicable entities, the regulations clearly
provide that all material related party transactions shall require approval of the
shareholders through resolution and the related parties shall abstain from voting on
such resolutions whether the entity is a related party for the particular transaction or
not.
Q5. Regulation 24(1) prescribes having at least one independent director of the listed
entity as a director on the board of directors of 'unlisted material subsidiary,
incorporated in India'. Sub-regulations (2), (3) and (4) to the same regulation refer to
'unlisted subsidiary'. Whether such sub-regulations (2), (3) and (4) are applicable to all
unlisted subsidiaries or only material unlisted subsidiaries incorporated in India?
Answer: Listed entities may be guided by the provisions of Regulation 24. Wherever
'unlisted material subsidiary' and 'unlisted subsidiary' have been distinctly mentioned in
a particular sub-regulation, such sub-regulation shall be applicable to material unlisted
subsidiaries or all unlisted subsidiaries as the case may be.
Q6. Regulation 26(1) stipulates that a director shall not be a member in more than ten
committees or act as chairperson of more than five committees across all listed
entities. Clause (a) to the aforesaid sub-regulation requires membership on
committees that a director serves in all public limited companies, whether listed or
not, to be included for determining the count of committee membership/
chairmanship for sub-regulation (1) and excludes membership on committees of
private limited companies, foreign companies and companies under Section 8 of the
Companies Act, 2013. Whether a director can be committee member for ten listed
entities only or the same includes unlisted public companies as well?
Answer: A director of a listed entity can be member in maximum ten committees and
chairperson of more than five committees of listed entities and unlisted public limited
companies put together.
C. Disclosure of Events or Information
Q7. Regulation 30(8) of LR requires posting of disclosures on the listed entity’s website for
a minimum period of five years. Whether the said provision is prospective from
December 1, 2015 and pertains to disclosures relating to events happening thereafter?
3. Page 3 of 5
Answer: The disclosures made under Regulation 30(8) shall be made w.e.f. December
01, 2015, i.e., the listed entity shall disclose on its website all such events or information
which has been disclosed to stock exchange(s) under this regulation on or after the said
date, and such disclosures shall be hosted on the website of the listed entity for a
minimum period of five years from the date of disclosure to the stock exchange.
Q8. Regulation 30(9) of LR requires disclosure of all events and information with respect to
subsidiaries which are material. If both parent and subsidiary are listed entities, would
it be sufficient compliance if the listed subsidiary has made a disclosure or whether
same disclosure be made by the parent listed entity also?
Answer: Both the parent and material subsidiary in their own right as Listed Entities
have to make disclosure separately as applicable under Listing Regulations.
Q9. Regulation 16 (1)(c) defines material subsidiary as - “material subsidiary” shall mean a
subsidiary, whose income or net worth exceeds twenty percent of the consolidated
income or net worth respectively, of the listed entity and its subsidiaries in the
immediately preceding accounting year.” The Explanation to Regulation 16 (1)(c)
states that the listed entity shall formulate a policy for determining material
subsidiary. Can the listed entity adopt a different criteria for determining material
subsidiary for the purpose of Regulation 30 (9)?
Answer: The definition of 'material subsidiary' under regulation 16(1)(c) defines a
subsidiary that is material to the listed entity. Further, the explanation to the aforesaid
provision allows the listed entity to formulate a policy for the same, i.e., a listed entity
can develop criteria that is stricter than what has been provided in the Regulations.
Regulation 30(9) requires the listed entity to disclose all events or information with
respect to subsidiaries which are material for the listed entity. The said sub-regulation
places stress on materiality of the events or information. Therefore, disclosure would be
required in cases where the event or information originating from a subsidiary is
material to the listed entity, irrespective of whether such a subsidiary is material or not
as per the definition provided at regulation 16(1)(c).
Q10. Schedule III Part A, Para A, Clause 1(ii)(a) requires disclosures on acquisition or
agreements to acquire shares or voting rights in a company, whether directly or
indirectly, such that the listed entity holds shares or voting rights aggregating to five
per cent or more of the shares or voting rights in the said company. Whether the
disclosure is with respect to acquisition of shares or voting rights when the target
company is a listed entity only or whether it is applicable to unlisted entities also?
Answer: The Schedule refers to the listed entity’s acquisition of shares or voting rights in
the company. Such target company can be listed or unlisted.
4. Page 4 of 5
D. Other Clarifications
Q11. Under Regulation 33(3), for submission of financial results for the last quarter,
whether Unaudited Results can be submitted to the Exchanges?
Answer: Regulation (33)(3)(d) clearly states that the listed entity shall file audited
annual results in 60 days from the end of the last quarter. Therefore, the financial
statements for the last quarter shall necessarily be audited. The said provision was also
there in the erstwhile Listing Agreement.
Q12. Regulation 33 (3)(d) requires a company to submit audited standalone financial results
for the financial year, within sixty days from the end of the financial year along with
the audit report and either Form A (for audit report with unmodified opinion) or Form
B (for audit report with modified opinion). However for listed entities having
subsidiaries whether two sets of Form A or Form B have to be prepared for standalone
and consolidated results?
Answer: A company having subsidiaries will prepare two sets of Form A and/or Form B,
one for standalone results and another for consolidated results based on the respective
audit report.
Q13. Regulation 35 requires the listed entity to submit to the stock exchange(s) an Annual
Information Memorandum in the manner specified by the Board from time to time.
Since the Regulations do not currently specify the applicable date and the manner, is
the said provision currently applicable?
Answer: As mentioned, in the regulation, the said requirement will become applicable
as and when Annual Information Memorandum is specified by SEBI.
Q14. Regulation 40(3) requires that the listed entity shall register transfers of its securities
in the name of the transferee(s) and issue certificates or receipts or advices, as
applicable, of transfers; or issue any valid objection or intimation to the transferee or
transferor, as the case may be, within a period of fifteen days from the date of such
receipt of request for transfer. It provides that the listed entity shall ensure that
transmission requests are processed for securities held in dematerialized mode and
physical mode within seven days and twenty one days respectively, after receipt of
the specified documents and that proper verifiable dated records of all
correspondence with the investor shall be maintained by the listed entity. In this
regard, how would a company ensure compliance in an era where companies have no
role to play in processing of transmission of securities held in dematerialized mode?
Answer: The provision in Regulation 40(3) may be read in context with Regulation 7(1)
which states that the listed entity shall appoint a share transfer agent or manage the
5. Page 5 of 5
share transfer facility in-house. In cases where the listed entity is managing the share
transfer in-house, such compliance may be ensured. In this regard, the share transfer
agent is an agent of the listed entity and it is imperative that the listed entity as a
principal shall supervise the activities of its agent. Further, Regulation 8 provides that
the listed entity, wherever applicable, shall co-operate with and submit correct and
adequate information to the intermediaries registered with the Board including registrar
to an issue and share transfer agents.
Q15. As per Regulation 46(2)(n), the listed entity is required to disseminate on its website
details of agreements entered into with the media companies and/or their associates,
etc. In this regard, should the listed entity disclose all agreements entered into with
media companies/ their associates including ordinary agreements or disclose only
such agreements that are not in the normal course of business as required under item
5 of paragraph A of part A of Schedule III of LR?
Answer: It is clarified that only such agreements that are not in the normal course of
business shall be disclosed. Listed entities may refer to SEBI Press Release No. 200/2010
dated August 27, 2010 and Press Council of India Press Release No. PR/3/10-11-PCI
dated August 02, 2010 wherein concerns related to 'private treaties' and their
disclosures have been discussed in detail.
Note: Additional FAQs will be issued shortly.
