In a bid to give companies a breather to compile their results, the capital market regulator Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Thursday (19 March) relaxed certain listing disclosure obligations due to the coronavirus pandemic, reports ANI.
According to the report, the SEBI allowed listed companies to defer the disclosure of fourth quarter and annual earnings by 45 days to 30 June.
It also relaxed the period of filing the shareholding pattern by three weeks and eased the time period for filing the quarterly corporate governance report by a month.
“The Covid-19 virus has hit populations around the world and has restricted free movement of people, thereby hampering businesses and day-to-day functioning of companies,” SEBI said in a release.
The SEBI also provided relaxation of one month on a half-yearly compliance certificate on share transfer and relaxation of three weeks on the quarterly statement of investor governance.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
