The proposed formats aim to facilitate automated supervision and processing of data to ensure greater market transparency and discipline.

The consultation paper is based on a review by a SEBI working group aligning regulations with RBI guidelines on securitization.
The move is part of SEBI's efforts to strengthen regulations and protect investor interests in securitized debt instruments.
The objective is to enhance market integrity and ensure more effective monitoring and reporting within the securitization market.
