Public Comments

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

• Please read and understand the proposal in the consultation paper you are commenting on. Please be concise but support your rationale in the comments;
• Clearly identify the issues on which you are commenting. If you are commenting on a particular word phrase or sentence, provide the page number, column and paragraph citation from the consultation paper.
• The comment process is not a vote. The Board is attempting to formulate the best policy, so when crafting a comment, it is important that you adequately explain the reasoning behind your position.
• If you choose to disagree with any of the proposal, kindly provide your comments and rationale for your disagreement. Please note that the disagreement without any comments/ rationale may not be considered.

PROCEDURAL INSTRUCTIONS:

• There will be a dropdown of multiple proposals in the form after selection of the relevant consultation paper. Select the proposals one-by-one beginning with the first proposal and moving on to 2nd, 3rd and so on. For each of the proposal, please record your level of agreement and provide your comments, if any, followed by clicking on the "Submit" button.
• If you want to skip any particular proposal(s) in between, you may do so by selecting the "Skip this proposal" option and clicking on the "Submit" button. With each click on “Submit” button, the system saves your response and prompt you to respond to the next proposal.
• The updated list of saved responses/ proposal numbers may be seen on the top of the screen which gets updated with every click on the "Submit" button.
• Please note that the comments shall be submitted to SEBI only after saving your response on all of the proposals. Post submission of comments, a message as "Thank you for submitting your comments" shall appear on the screen indicating the successful submission.
• Please do not click the "back" button or do not "refresh" your screen during the process as it may lead to loss of saved comments;
• Please note that the e-form shall not accept any type of special characters such as ( ) { } [ ] ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * etc. in comments/ rationale section. It shall also not allow to paste the comments/ rationale copied from any other source.
• Please download the pdf file, link of which is given at the bottom of the form, just before finally submitting the comments to last and final proposal. This pdf file will help as back-up in case technical issue is faced while final submission of comments.
