--SEBI Pandey: Growth anchored in governance is what sustains confidence 

MUMBAI – The Securities and Exchange Board of India is reviewing regulations related to settlement, and listing obligation and disclosure requirements, Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said at an event on Friday. This is part of the SEBI's plans to simplify and remove redundancies from several regulations.

Pandey said SEBI has already simplified related party disclosure norms and regulations covering mutual funds and stock brokers. SEBI also made business responsibility and sustainability reporting norms more flexible allowing listed companies to opt for "assessment or assurance", he said. 

SEBI plans to strengthen risk management for Know-Your-Client Registration Agency framework by introducing defined timelines and periodic review of KYC records. "To further ease investor onboarding, we have also proposed to streamline KYC processes further by enabling centralisation and portability of supplementary information at KRAs," he said.

Pandey said governance standards should be higher for Indian companies. "Growth is welcome, but growth anchored in governance is what sustains confidence over the long run." he said at the ET Now Global Business Summit. "Boards of listed companies are being nudged from ceremonial oversight to active stewardship."  End
