Recently, the Securities and Exchange of India proposed a framework for index providers to improve transparency and accountability in the domestic securities market.
About:
The index provider shall be a legal entity incorporated under the Companies Act in the country of origin and should have a minimum net worth of Rs 25 crore.
The proposed regulation shall apply to index providers of both domestic and foreign.
The index providers must be assessed by independent external auditors to evaluate adherence to International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) principles once in two years.
What is IOSCO?
