Listing Compliances

Overview

Listing compliances are mandatory regulatory requirements that companies must adhere to after their securities are listed on a stock exchange. These compliances include regular filings, disclosures, and corporate governance practices that ensure transparency, protect investor interests, and maintain the company’s legal standing in the market. Non-compliance can lead to penalties, suspension of trading, or delisting. Legal Corner provides comprehensive services to manage your listing compliances, ensuring that your company meets all regulatory requirements and maintains its reputation in the market.

Eligibility

• Publicly Listed Companies:
  All companies whose securities are listed on recognized stock exchanges, such as the NSE or BSE, are required to adhere to listing compliances. This applies to both equity and debt-listed companies.
• Compliance with SEBI Regulations:
  Companies must comply with the regulations set forth by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), which include periodic disclosures, corporate governance standards, and other regulatory filings.
• Board of Directors’ Oversight:
  The board of directors is responsible for overseeing the company’s compliance with listing regulations. This includes ensuring that all necessary disclosures and filings are made on time and in accordance with SEBI guidelines.
• Adherence to Stock Exchange Requirements:
  Companies must adhere to the specific requirements of the stock exchange(s) on which their securities are listed. These requirements may vary depending on the exchange but generally include periodic reports, disclosures, and other compliance obligations.
• Ongoing Disclosure Obligations:
  Companies must continuously disclose material information, such as financial results, changes in management, and corporate actions, to the stock exchange(s) and investors. This ensures transparency and protects investor interests.
