Sebi gives India Inc more time for Q4 filings amid coronavirus outbreak

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on Thursday relaxed the deadlines for regulatory filings, such as disclosure of financial results and shareholding pattern.

“Developments arising due to the spread of the virus warrant the need for temporary relaxations in compliance requirements for listed entities,” Sebi said.

The deadlines to file the March quarter and full-year results have been extended by 45 days and 30 days, respectively, to June 2020. The last date to file shareholding pattern will be May 15 instead of April 21. Other areas where relaxations have been given are filing of corporate governance reports, secretarial compliance reports,
