Market regulator SEBI is reviewing the framework for monitoring and disclosing utilisation of issue proceeds to improve timely disclosures and streamline compliance, Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said on Saturday. Addressing the Institute of Directors' Annual Directors' Conclave 2026, Pandey said transparency is about quality, timeliness and usefulness of information, not just volume. SEBI also proposes to clarify the framework on related-party transactions to make requirements clearer and more workable for issuers while retaining investor safeguards. The regulator is additionally proposing a framework to avoid duplication of fines levied by multiple exchanges on entities listed on more than one exchange for the same matter. Pandey said the regulator has progressively strengthened disclosure frameworks for material events with materiality thresholds and timelines to bring consistency. The objective, he said, is to make regulation more efficient while preserving its purpose.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both versions of the story from BusinessLine are near-identical wire-style reports that faithfully reproduce SEBI Chairman Pandey's remarks without adding commentary or omission. The coverage is uniform straight reporting. The key takeaway for careful readers is that SEBI is tightening two areas simultaneously: utilisation of issue proceeds and related-party transactions, while also trying to reduce duplicative fines across exchanges. This signals a shift toward quality-over-quantity in disclosures. Watch for the formal consultation papers on these proposals, likely in the coming months.
