The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) plays a crucial role in regulating capital markets, ensuring investor protection, and promoting market transparency. Companies listed on stock exchanges must comply with SEBI’s stringent guidelines to maintain corporate governance and avoid penalties.
Key SEBI Regulations for Companies
- Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR): Listed entities must provide accurate financial disclosures, report material events, and ensure investor transparency.
- Insider Trading Regulations: SEBI prohibits unlawful trading based on non-public information to prevent market manipulation.
- Takeover Code: Regulates mergers, acquisitions, and public offers, ensuring fair treatment of shareholders.
- Corporate Governance Norms: Mandates independent directors, audit committees, and fair board practices to enhance accountability.
