SEBI Encourages Startups' Listings By Easing Eligibility Rules

To bring more start-ups into stock market, SEBI has eased the eligibility rules by bringing necessary amendments. Easing the delisting process, the regulator has provisioned that promoters or acquirers will have to disclose intention of delisting by making public announcements. Besides, slashing the time period for pre-issue shareholders to 1 year from 2 year, SEBI increased the pre-issue shareholding of 'Innovators Growth Platform investors' to 25% from its earlier 10%.
