SEBI Updates Document Verification System, Adds Subject Matter as Mandatory Field
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has updated its Document Number Verification System to enhance authentication of its communications. The revamped system, operational since September 2026, now requires the subject matter of letters as a mandatory field and aligns with SEBI's E-Office outward number format. Recipients can verify physical letters, including notices and show-cause notices, by entering specific details. Verification confirms issuance by SEBI but does not validate letter contents. Communications before September 2026 can be verified via email.
