Congress claimed Sebi's latest consultation document proposing additional disclosure norms for high-risk FPIs was due to the critical observations in the report submitted by the SC-appointed experts committee (on the Adani-Hindenburg issue) about the market regulator "weakening" and "diluting" such rules during 2017-18 period.

Congress questions Sebi over FPI disclosure norms

Congress claimed Sebi's latest consultation document proposing additional disclosure norms for high-risk FPIs was due to the critical observations in the report submitted by the SC-appointed experts committee (on the Adani-Hindenburg issue) about the market regulator "weakening" and "diluting" such rules during 2017-18 period. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said Sebi, while "bringing back" those rules, should do it with "retrospective effect" and alleged the market regulator's decision to "dilute" the rules then had affected transparent disclosure of identity of "the real investors" who invested about "₹2,0000 crore in the Adani Group shares".
