  • Debt listing compliance (MasterCircularDebt2026)
  • Standard Operating Procedures (MasterCircularSOP2026)

  • Consolidation Reference Date: March 31, 2026 (all circulars issued up to this date are included)

Impact Assessment

This master circular has broad and significant impact on all BSE-listed entities. By consolidating multiple circulars into a single reference document, it simplifies compliance navigation for listed companies. Compliance officers and legal teams at listed entities must review the three attached documents (equity, debt, and SOP) to ensure alignment with all current listing obligations. Failure to comply with requirements outlined in the master circular may attract regulatory action from BSE’s Listing Compliance-Monitoring department.

Impact Justification

Master circulars are comprehensive reference documents covering all listing compliance policies and operational matters. All listed entities are required to note and comply with the consolidated guidelines covering equity, debt, and standard operating procedures.
