The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan mandates that bankers to an issue, consultants to the issue, underwriters, and debt securities trustees must obtain a license to perform their functions. The regulations establish eligibility criteria, application procedures, and a one-year license validity period, while requiring existing service providers to secure licenses within six months. Financial institutions are exempt from full licensing but must obtain Commission approval, pay specified non-refundable fees, and submit annual compliance affidavits.
