Hello Friends,

As I came accross this discussion I would like to draw attention on SCRA which may compel listed compaines to appoint CS as compliance officer, irrespective of its capital, I am reproducing some provision which may help all of us in this and in future.

SCR Act:

“Conditions for listing

21. Where securities are listed on the application of any person in any recognized stock exchange, such person shall comply with the conditions of the listing agreement with that stock exchange.”

SCR Act, 1956

23E - “Penalty for failure to comply with provision of listing conditions or delisting conditions or grounds: If a company or any person managing collective investment scheme or mutual fund, fails to

comply with the listing conditions or delisting conditions or grounds or commits a breach thereof, it or he shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding twenty-five crore rupees.

Other views are invited.

Thanks Regard,

Ankit Patniya
