The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has issued a corrigendum to the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015 (LODR Regulations) to correct certain enabling provisions and editorial references.

The corrigendum aligns the regulatory references with the relevant provisions of the SEBI Act, 1992 and the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 (SCRA).

1. Clarification on Dematerialised Credit of Securities

The requirement ensures timely processing of investor requests and promotes the use of the dematerialised mode for holding securities.

3. Objective of the Corrigendum

The corrigendum aims to:

  • Correct the enabling provisions cited under the SEBI Act and SCRA
  • Clarify compliance requirements for processing investor service requests
