SEBI Speed Post with Registration amendment

Notification F. No. SEBI/LAD-NRO/GN/2025/281, Dated: 03.12.2025

1. Regulatory Background

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has notified the Substitution of Registered Post with Speed Post (Amendment) Regulations, 2025. These amendments harmonise communication modes across multiple SEBI regulatory frameworks to ensure faster, trackable, and more efficient document delivery.

The changes take effect from the date of publication in the Official Gazette.

2. Scope of Amendments

The amendment regulations update the following existing SEBI regulations:

  1. Collective Investment Schemes Regulations, 1999
  2. Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices (PFUTP) Regulations, 2003
  3. Intermediaries Regulations, 2008
  4. Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements (ICDR) Regulations, 2018

Each regulation now replaces earlier references to “Registered Post” with:

“Speed Post with Registration or with Acknowledgment Due”

3. Rationale

The substitution aims to:

  • Modernise regulatory communication requirements
  • Enable faster delivery and traceability
  • Maintain proof of dispatch, receipt, and acknowledgement
  • Align regulatory correspondence with India Post’s contemporary postal services
  • Reduce operational delays caused by legacy terminology referencing Registered Post

4. Operational Implication

For all regulatory purposes—from notices, communication, service of orders, or statutory filings—entities governed under the above SEBI regulations must now ensure:

  • Use of Speed Post (Registered/Acknowledged) in place of Registered Post
  • Maintenance of acknowledgement records as statutory evidence
  • Alignment of internal SOPs and compliance manuals to reflect updated service modes

5. Effective Date

The amendment is immediately operational from the date of its notification in the Official Gazette, and no transitional window is contemplated.
