SEBI has proposed new disclosure rules for securitized debt instruments to enhance transparency and investor protection.
Special purpose distinct entities and their trustees will need to provide detailed half-yearly disclosures on asset performance, structure, and credit quality.
The disclosures must be submitted to SEBI and stock exchanges within 21 days from the end of March and September.
Different disclosure requirements will apply based on the type of securitized assets, including loans, debt securities, or credit facilities.
Trustees must disclose data on various aspects like asset maturity profiles, overdue exposures, prepayment rates, recovery actions, and more.
Specific information is required on credit enhancements, liquidity support, and significant events impacting creditworthiness or receivables servicing.
Trustees also need to report any post-securitization amendments to loan terms and provide updates on asset pool distribution.
The proposed formats aim to facilitate automated supervision and processing of data to ensure greater market transparency and discipline.
SEBI's initiative aligns with the Reserve Bank of India's revised securitization framework.
SEBI is seeking public feedback on the draft circular regarding the periodic disclosure requirements for trustees until July 7.
The proposed rules aim to modernize the securitization market to meet evolving regulatory standards.
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.
SEBI's call for public feedback demonstrates a collaborative approach to refining regulations in the financial sector.
The proposed measures reflect a significant step towards increasing financial market transparency and accountability.
