Sebi Extends Financial Disclosure Deadlines and Revises Municipal Debt Rules
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has extended the deadlines for listed municipalities to submit financial disclosures to stock exchanges. Half-yearly unaudited results must now be submitted within 60 days instead of 45, and annual audited results within 90 days instead of 60. These changes address practical challenges faced by municipalities and follow recommendations from a Working Group. Sebi also revised rules for municipal debt securities issued via private placement, specifying face values and trading lot requirements.
