Meeting of All Stock Exchanges

governance

The meeting decided that sub‑brokers of a subsidiary/company may keep 25 % of the required deposit in cash and the remaining 75 % in irrevocable bank guarantees, revising the earlier SEBI circular that mandated cash only. Stock exchanges are now permitted to increase their membership or dealership levels provided they meet all legal requirements, without needing prior SEBI approval. The exchanges are instructed that elected directors must refrain from interfering in day‑to‑day management, particularly surveillance and risk‑management functions, to preserve administrative freedom for executive directors acting as CEOs. Exchanges must establish a mechanism to evaluate applicant brokers’ systems against the SEBI Committee Report on Internet Trading and prioritize those applications, and they must submit weekly reports on vanishing companies in the format prescribed by SEBI circular No PMD/OPG/AG/7827/99 while also creating a small cell to scan regional company reports and act against misuse of raised funds.
