Chapter 3: Automation of disclosure requirements pursuant to introduction of System Driven
Disclosures 3

With the intent of ease of doing business, SEBI in consultation with the market infrastructure
institutions had decided to automate the process of filing of disclosures as prescribed under Regulations 29 and 31 of the Takeover Regulations at stock exchange(s) level for the companies which are listed on nationwide stock exchanges. Under SDD, relevant disclosures shall be disseminated by the Stock Exchanges based on aggregation of data received from the Depositories, without human intervention.

Regulation 31 of the Takeover Regulations* shall not require manual filing except for the following transactions: -

may be, by the acquirer together with persons acting in concert (PACs)
ii. Triggering of disclosure requirement in case the shares are held in physical form by the
acquirer and/or PACs.
iii. Listed companies who have not provided PAN of promoter(s) including member(s)
of the promoter group to the designated depository or companies which have not appointed any depository as their designated depository. Disclosure of encumbered shares -Capturing ultimate lender
Further, in order to streamline capturing and dissemination of the information related to
“encumbrances”, it has been decided thati. All types of encumbrances as defined under Regulation 28(3) of the Takeover Regulations shall necessarily be recorded in the depository system.
ii. The depositories shall capture details of the ultimate lender along with name of the trustee
acting on behalf of such ultimate lender such as banks, NBFCs, etc. In case of issuance of debentures, name of the debenture issuer shall be captured in the depository system.
iii. The depositories shall capture the reasons for encumbrances in the depository system.
For the purpose of dissemination of this informationi. The depositories shall provide information to the stock exchanges for the transactions recorded
in the depository system.
ii. The stock exchanges shall consolidate the information received from both the depositories and
disseminate the same on their websites as per the formats specified by SEBI.
iii. The stock exchanges shall also devise an appropriate mechanism for dissemination of
disclosures under SDD in a simple readable pdf format.

In such cases, grant of exemption were considered if the following conditions were met by the applicants, expressly in trust deed:

In addition, the following undertakings were part of the trust deed:
vi Any change in the trustees / beneficiaries and any change in ownership or control of shares or voting rights held by Trust shall be disclosed within 2 days to the concerned stock exchanges with a copy endorsed to SEBI for its record; vii As far as the provisions of the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 (herein after referred to as “SEBI Act”) and the regulations framed thereunder are concerned the ownership or control of shares or voting rights will be treated as vesting not only with the Trustees but also indirectly with the beneficiaries; viii The liabilities and obligations of individual transferors under the SEBI Act and the regulations framed thereunder will not change or get diluted due to transfers to the Trust. ix The Trust shall confirm, on an annual basis, that it is in compliance with the exemption order passed by SEBI. The said confirmation shall be furnished to the company which it shall disclose prominently as a note to the shareholding pattern filed for the quarter ending March 31 each year, under regulation 31 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015; x The Trust shall get its compliance status certified from an independent auditor annually and furnish the certificate to the Stock Exchanges for public disclosure with a copy endorsed to SEBI for its records.
