The panel, chaired by Jayant Sinha, has also reviewed the outcome of the measures taken by Sebi in key cases, including Franklin Templeton, brokers default, and the financial crises at Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services and Dewan Housing Finance Corporation.
“We discussed a wide variety of issues on Monday with Sebi, ranging from regulatory scope, surveillance, to recent policy measures.

We also spoke extensively on capital flows into the capital markets coming from different sources, including foreign and retail investors and domestic institutions," Jayant Sinha told Business Standard.
