# SEBI streamlines IPO process, cuts listing timeline to T+3 2026-08-14T23:08:56+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Markets regulator SEBI has reduced the timeline for listing of shares after an initial public offering (IPO) from T+6 days to T+3 days. This means investors will get credit of shares or refunds three working days after the closure of the offer. The new rule will be optional initially and made mandatory after market preparedness. SEBI chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch said the move will reduce the period during which IPO funds remain locked in and improve ease of doing business for issuers. ## Coverage - dnaindia.com Tags: IPO, Madhabi Puri Buch, SEBI Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/sebi-streamlines-ipo-process-cuts-listing-timeline-to-t3/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
