Securities & Exchange Board of India (
This would be the first meeting of the board, after merging with Forward Markets Commission, the former commodities market regulator. The board now has new members - Shaktikanta Das, secretary in the department of economic affairs, Tapan Ray, secretary in the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, and part-time member Arun Sathe.
Under the topic of discussion, the board would also have a discussion on tweaking of rules related to forfeiture of partly paid shares, meanwhile introducing an electronic platform for the issue of debt securities and providing a framework for green bonds.
"It's a change from investing in the promoter alone to investing in the business. Scrupulous promoters may not have a problem, but unscrupulous promoters will certainly have," Suhail Nathani, a partner at Economic Laws Practice, told ET.

The board would also discuss introducing entities called electronic book providers, which could be merchant bankers and will have to take prior approval from the regulator before they provide a platform for electronic services.
India is going to be among the few countries that would move online for all debt issues. Presently, only equity sales and government bond auctions see electronic platforms. However, in future, this could be made mandatory for all issuances, leading to symmetry of information and an improvement in the transparency in sales.
