SEBI Updates Document Verification System to Include Subject Matter Field
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has updated its Document Number Verification System by making the subject matter of letters a mandatory field for authentication. Launched in April 2025, the system allows recipients to verify the authenticity of physical letters, including notices and show-cause notices, by entering details such as outward number, issuing official's name, date, subject matter, and recipient's name. The revamped system, operational since September 2026, confirms issuance but does not verify letter contents. Communications before this date can be verified via email.
