SEBI introduced UPI as a payment mechanism for ASBA to enhance efficiency in public issues for retail investors. It uses Sponsor Banks and NPCI to facilitate instant fund blocking and streamlined mandate management.

The ASBA facility streamlines public and rights issues by blocking application money in investors' bank accounts until allotment.

The Issue Summary Document (ISD), filed in XBRL format , facilitates structured data consumption for various issues including public offers, buy-backs, and delisting. Filing occurs in two stages—pre-issue and post-allotment—to be disseminated via stock exchange and depository websites.

Eligible Innovators Growth Platform Investors (IGPIs) include individuals with ₹5 crore net worth or corporates with ₹25 crore. Stock exchanges/depositories manage recognition , which remains valid for three years unless financial eligibility changes.

Mandatory EBP platform use for NCDs, with warrants comprising at least 40% of the total issue size under QIP regulations.

This document outlines a uniform policy for compensating retail investors who suffer opportunity losses due to SCSB failures in processing ASBA applications. Compensation is calculated using a mandated formula based on listing price, issue price, and allotment probability. Investors must seek redressal within three months of listing.

This document mandates online filing via the SEBI Intermediary Portal , establishes guidelines for returning non-compliant draft offer documents , and requires bilingual audiovisual presentations of salient disclosures for all public issues.

Offer documents must use revised formats for abridged prospectuses and front cover pages. Issuers must provide QR codes for easy downloading and ensure all qualitative statements are substantiated by Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).

Streamlining involves mandatory ASBA payments, dematerialized Rights Entitlements trading, and completing the process within 23 working days.

Regulation 297 and 298 of ICDR Regulations, inter-alia, specify liability of a listed entity or any other person for contravention and actions which can be taken by the respective stock exchange, the revocation of such actions and consequences for failure to pay fine in the manner specified by SEBI.
