--SEBI sets up panel to review debenture trusteeship regulatory framework 

 

MUMBAI – The Securities and Exchange Board of India has set up an expert working group to review the existing regulatory framework around debenture trusteeship, the market regulator said Tuesday. The working group will examine representations and suggestions from market participants and recommend measures to strengthen the role of debenture trustees, SEBI said in a release.

 

It will also review the net-worth requirements applicable to debenture trustees and suggest changes, if required. Former SEBI whole-time member Ananta Barua will be the chairman, and former State Bank of India chairman Rajnish Kumar will be the co-chairman of the working group.

 

The market regulator has invited suggestions from the public, market participants, and other stakeholders on the existing regulatory framework by Jul. 15. "Considering the evolving landscape of the Indian debt market and the increasing importance of Debenture Trustees in safeguarding the interests of debenture holders, a need has been felt to undertake a comprehensive review of the regulatory framework governing Debenture Trusteeship activities to align the same with the changing market dynamics," SEBI said.  End
