Sebi Extends Deadline for Debenture Trustees to Comply with Regulations Until April 2027
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has extended the deadline for debenture trustees to comply with regulations requiring non-regulated activities to be transferred to separate business units by six months, now set for April 27, 2027. This follows earlier extensions due to operational challenges highlighted by industry representatives. An Expert Working Group, formed in June 2026, is reviewing the regulatory framework for debenture trustees, including the Separate Business Unit framework, prompting the latest extension.
