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 or permission to perform their functions. The regulations establish eligibility criteria, application procedures, and a one-year license validity period, while exempting scheduled banks and development financial institutions from full licensing if they secure specific Commission permission and pay prescribed non-refundable fees. These entities are also required to maintain records for at least ten years and comply with ongoing regulatory obligations.
