    Submission of report of The Committee for Review of Ownership and Governance of Market Infrastructure Institu-tions

    The Securities and Exchange Board of India constituted a Committee under the Chairmanship of Dr. Bimal Jalan,(Former Governor, Reserve Bank of India) to examine issues arising from the ownership and governance of Market In-

    frastructure Institutions (MIIs). Dr. Bimal Jalan submitted the report to Chairman, SEBI on November 22, 2010.The committee deliberated and recommended primarily on the following issues among others after going through aconsultative process.

    1. Ownership norms: Structure of MIIs, ownership norms for the MIIs, ownership and control of an MII in another classof MII, foreign participation etc.

    2. Governance norms: The board composition for the three MIIs and disclosures to be made by board members.

    3. Measures for conflicts resolution: Appointment and compensation for senior management of the MII includingMD/CEO, measures to ensure autonomy of regulatory departments and requirements for a compliance officer etc.

    4. Other issues: Listing of MIIs, net worth requirements, distribution of profits of MIIs, related businesses that can be

    entered into by MIIs, replacement of MIMPS Regulations and powers to SEBI.

    The other members of the Committee were:

    a. Dr. K.P. Krishnan, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Finance (till June 30, 2010), Secretary, Economic AdvisoryCouncil to the Prime Minister of India (from July 1, 2010)

    b. Shri. Kishor Chaukar, Managing Director, Tata Industries

    c. Shri. Uday Kotak, Managing Director, Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd.

    d. Prof. G. Sethu, Officer on Special Duty, National Institute of Securities Markets

    e. Dr. K. M. Abraham, Whole Time Member, SEBI

    f. Shri J.N. Gupta, Executive Director, SEBI (Member Secretary).

    Some of the recommendations of the committee are as follows:

    Ownership norms

    A single anchor institutional investor (AII) may be permitted to hold up to 24% of the total equity capital of an ex-

    change, along with persons acting in concert. Every anchor institutional investor will have to bring down its holding to

    15% or less in ten years from the time it is recognised as an anchor. During the allowed holding period of ten years, if

    an AII desires to offload the stake to another eligible AII, the holding period for new AII would be deemed to have com-

    menced from the date when original AII acquired shares and became AII. In summary, the total holding period allowed

    will be only 10 years for the initial AII and its subsequent AIIs. SEBI may extend such period in case the AII makes an

    application for the extension in time and the same is a fit case for extension.

    At the time of filing the application for recognition as a stock exchange, anchor institutional investors shall be identi-

    fied, by the entity seeking recognition, from amongst the shareholders holding more than 15% and up to 24 % of the

    equity capital of the exchange.

    Anchor Institutional Investor for existing stock exchanges: Entities at (a) above desirous of holding more than 15% and

    up to 24% for becoming anchor institutional investors in a recognised stock exchange will have to make an application

    to SEBI for the same after getting the approval of the shareholders in the AGM of the stock exchange through a special

    resolution.

    All anchor institutional investors put together shall not hold more than 49% of the total equity capital of an exchange.

    The present procedure of obtaining fit and proper approval from SEBI, for entities holding more than 5% shall con-

    tinue.

    Domestic institutions registered in India having a net worth of`

    1000

    crores or more and falling under the categoryof: (i) Public Financial institutions defined under section 4A of the Companies Act, 1956 and with national jurisdiction,

    (ii) Banking company as defined under clause (c) of section 5 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 may be permitted to

    be anchor institutional investors for stock exchanges for a period of 10 years from the date of recognition as an AII of

    the exchange.

    Ownership and control of an MII in anotehr class of MII

    The Committee is of the view that clearing corporations and depositories perform specialized post-trade services. It is

    ideal for these MIIs (clearing corporations and depositories) to function as public utilities and focus on improving the

    safety of the market and reducing the costs to users. The Committee is of the view that, there is no need to permit a

    clearing corporation or depository to invest in other class of MIIs. Hence, clearing corporations and depositories may

    not be allowed to invest in other class of MIIs . To sum up, the model proposed for restriction on shareholding of stock

    exchanges is as follows:-

    The category based restrictions for trading members, FII, FDI and cumulative foreign holding will continue as before.

    The Committee therefore, recommends that at least 51% of the paid-up equity capital of the clearing corporation

    should be held by one or more recognized stock exchanges.

    It is recommended that the holding of stock exchanges in depositories may be restricted to a maximum of 24%. Fur-

    ther, the sponsors shall be subject to a fit and proper approval from SEBI in the manner similar to the shareholders

    of stock exchanges holding more than 5%.

    Therefore, it is recommended that in the case of all MIIs, an FII should be allowed to acquire the shares through off

    market transactions including through initial allotment, as allowed for other shareholder, subject to the limits speci-

    fied by the Government from time to time. The same may be suggested to the Government by SEBI.

    It is recommended that no trading /clearing member (irrespective of exchange where he operates) shall be allowed

    on the board of any of the stock exchange and the number of public interest directors on the board of a stock ex-

    change shall at least be equal to the number of shareholder directors without trading/ clearing interest. The appoint-

    ment of the Chairperson of the Board shall be with prior approval of SEBI. Terms and conditions of appointment of

    Chairperson should be subject to SEBIs approval. The sitting fees payable to the PIDs shall be as per the Companies

    Act, 1956.

    They shall not be paid any commission or any other remuneration. The committee feels that trading members bringrich practical experience and the same should be utilized in a manner which doesnt conflict with governance. There-

    fore in order to utilize the experience and expertise of trading members in the securities market, an advisory commit-

    tee shall be constituted by the board of the stock exchange, comprising of trading members. Trading members shall

    not be permitted participation in any other committee of the exchange. The advisory committee to the board may

    deal with non-regulatory, operational matters such as product design, technology, etc. The board of the exchange

    shall consult the advisory committee on these issues. The Chairman of the board shall head the advisory committee.

    The advisory committee shall meet a minimum of 4 times a year. The recommendations of the advisory committee

    shall necessarily be placed before the ensuing meeting of the board of the exchange and shall be disclosed on ex-

    changes website.

    It has been recommended that the number of public interest directors on the board of a clearing corporation shall at

    least be equal to the number of shareholder directors without trading/clearing interest. Further, an advisory commit-tee shall be constituted by the board of the clearing corporation, comprising mainly of clearing members. Clearing

    members shall not be permitted participation in any other committee of the clearing corporation. The advisory com-

    mittee to the board shall deal with non-regulatory, operational matters such as procedure related to clearing and set-

    tlement, technology, etc. The board of the clearing corporation shall consult the advisory committee on these issues.

    The Chairman of the board shall head the advisory committee. The advisory committee shall meet a minimum of 4

    times a year. The recommendations of the advisory committee shall be placed before the ensuing meeting of the

    board of the clearing corporation and shall be disclosed on clearing corporations website.

    It has been recommended that the board composition in depositories should be the same as prescribed for listed com-

    panies under clause 49 of the listing agreement. All transactions in securities of the board members of the MII and

    their family have to be disclosed to the board of the MII.

    The MD/CEO of the MII shall be ex-officio member on the board of the MII. The MD/CEO shall not be included in either

    the category of public interest directors or shareholder directors. In case the MII wishes to appoint any other official

    on its Board in addition to the MD/CEO, the same shall be subject to the approval of shareholders and SEBI, in that

    order. The additional official shall be counted in the category of shareholder directors.

    The senior executives heading risk management, surveillance, listing, registration, compliance, inspection, enforce-

    ment, arbitration, default, etc. shall report directly to an independent committee of the board consisting of a major-

    ity of public interest directors and also to the MD/CEO (dual reporting).

    Further, when a related business of an MII delivers a service to another MII, it should be ensured that there is equal,

    unrestricted, transparent and fair access to all without any bias towards its affiliated entity. SEBI should step in to

    investigate complaints in this regard and fasten liability on the MII who owns the related business. SEBI should even go

    as far as prohibiting an MII from using services supplied by its related business, should it detect any discriminatory

    practices. Further, all commercial arrangements such as listing of international indices, etc. which provide for exclu-sive rights should be subject to prior approval of SEBI. SEBI may grant its approval for such exclusivity for a limited

    period on a case-to-case basis, after examining the proposal.

    Profit making of MIIs

    The MII being a public utility should endeavor to earn only reasonable profits at par with average earnings of the cor-

    porate sector in India. Therefore, it is recommended that a cap may be fixed on the maximum return that can be

    earned by MII on its net worth and can be distributed / allocated to the shareholders of MII out of the total returns

    earned by MII. Any return/profits above such maximum attributable amount would be transferred to IPF or SGF as the

    case may be and the same would not form part of shareholders funds/ net worth for the purposes of determining re-

    turns and book value of the shares. This would strengthen the MII to withstand shocks, make them robust and maylead to reduction of the chargeslevied by MIIs on the users. The cap may be fixed by SEBI after taking into considera-

    tion risk free return based on the yield on a 10 year GOI bond and a risk premium to account for the risks faced by

    MIIs including equity risk premium and liquidity risk due to non listing of MIIs. It should also take into account differ-

    ential tax rate applicable to unlisted entities as the Committee has recommended that the MIIs should not be permit-

    ted to list.

    It is therefore, recommended that maximum profit available for distribution / allocation to shareholders which can be

    utilized for payment of dividends and for appropriation to general reserves, balances of profit & loss account should

    be capped at a certain percentage of annual return on net worth of the previous year. This cap will be determined by

    SEBI based on factors enumerated above.

    Net worth for this purpose would mean paid-up capital, balance of general reserves, profit & loss account and sharepremium account. The MII will be free to pay dividend to shareholders out of profit earned or out of free reserves/

    balance of profit and loss account and share premium account in accordance with Companys act 1956. Any profit

    earned over and above the prescribed return on net worth shall be transferred to IPF or SGF as the case may be and

    shall not be available for distribution to shareholders nor will it become part of shareholders funds. The ceiling on

    rate of return in all cases will be on profits after providing for taxes. The rate of return may be reset by SEBI consid-

    ering the change in risk free rate of return, inflation etc.

    Initiated by SEBI

    1. Trading members to display its SEBI registered name as registered names and other details like (logo, registra-tion number, complete address with telephone numbers etc.) on trading portals, notice/display boards, adver-

    tisements etc.

    It has been observed by SEBI that a few stock brokers are using brand names / logos of their group companies in their

    portals, notice/display boards, advertisements, publications, correspondences with outsiders and various documents.They are either not using the names as registered with SEBI or using the brand names / logos of group companiesmore prominently.

    This creates confusion in the minds of the investors in the market. Thus, in consultation with the investors associa-tions and major stock exchanges, SEBI has decided that while a stock broker may use the brand name / logo of itsgroup companies, it must display more prominently:

    its name as registered with SEBI, its own logo, if any, its registration number, and its complete address with tele-phone numbers in its portal/web site, if any, notice / display boards, advertisements, publications, know your clientforms, and member client agreements;

    its name as registered with SEBI, its own logo, if any, its registration number, and its complete address with tele-phone numbers, the name of compliance officer, his telephone number and e-mail address in contract notes, state-ment of funds and securities and correspondences with the client.

    2. Mutual fund schemes permitted to be transacted through clearing members of the registered stock exchanges

    and depositories participants allowed to process redemption request of units held in demat form.

    Vide SEBI circular dated November 13, 2009 SEBI had permitted units of mutual fund schemes to be transactedthrough registered stock brokers of recognized stock exchanges. In order to provide more avenues for purchasing andredeeming mutual fund units, in addition to the existing facilities of purchasing and redeeming directly with the mu-tual funds and stock brokers, it has been decided :

    that units of mutual funds schemes may be permitted to be transacted through clearing members of the regis-tered Stock Exchanges.

    Depository participants of registered Depositories have been permitted to process only redemption request ofunits held in demat form.

    The following has been decided with respect to investors having demat account and purchasing and redeeming mutualfunds units through stock brokers and clearing members:

    Investors shall receive redemption amount (if units are redeemed) and units (if units are purchased) through bro-ker/clearing members pool account. Mutual Funds(MF)/ Asset management Companies(AMC) would pay proceeds tothe broker/clearing member (in case of redemption) and broker/clearing member in turn to the respective investorand similarly units shall be credited by MF/AMC into broker/clearing members pool account (in case of purchase) and

    broker /clearing member in turn to the respective investor.

    Payment of redemption proceeds to the broker/clearing members by MF/AMC shall discharge MF/AMC of its obli-gation of payment to individual investor. Similarly, in case of purchase of units, crediting units into broker/clearingmember pool account shall discharge MF/AMC of its obligation to allot units to individual investor.

    In this regard:

    Clearing members and Depository participants will be eligible to be considered as official points of acceptance as perSEBI Circular dated October 11, 2006 and conditions stipulated in SEBI Circular dated November 13, 2009 for stockbrokers Viz. AMFI /NISM certification, code of conduct prescribed by SEBI for Intermediaries of Mutual Fund, shall beapplicable for such Clearing members and Depository participants as well.

    Stock exchanges and Depositories will provide investor grievance handling mechanism to the extent they relate todisputes between their respective regulated entity and their client and shall also monitor the compliance of code ofconduct specified in the SEBI Circulars MFD/CIR/20/23230/02 dated November 28, 2002 and SEBI/IMD/08/174648/2009 dated August 27, 2009 regarding empanelment and code of conduct for intermediaries of MutualFunds.

    The respective stock exchanges and Depositories would provide detailed operating guidelines to facilitate the above

    and ensure that timelines prescribed under SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations, 1996 shall be adhered to with regard toallotment of units and receipt of redemption proceeds at the investors level.

    3. Portfolio managers advised to ensure-minimum investment amount by clients (i.e. not less than`5 lakh, dis-closures about performance of portfolio and not to organize investment portfolios as schemes akin to mutual

    fund schemes.

    Portfolio Managers are registered and regulated under the SEBI (Portfolio Managers) Regulations 1993. SEBI has comeacross lack of uniformity in practice relating to following issues pertaining to portfolio managers:

    There have been instances of portfolio managers accepting funds or securities less than `5lakh from clients andopening client accounts on the basis of the clients commitment that `5lakh would be brought in soon. Also therehave been instances of committed amounts being higher than the prescribed minimum of `5lakh while the initialamount collected from the client could be below`5lakh.

    It is seen that many portfolio managers are not making adequate disclosure regarding portfolio performance inthe disclosure document.

    SEBI vide notification dated August 11, 2008 deleted the word Scheme from PMS Regulations. However, it is seen thatin some cases, portfolio managers still group portfolios in separate investment categories and term them as schemes.

    In order to bring about greater uniformity, clarity and transparency with regard to above issues, portfolio managersare advised to ensure the following;

    4. Amendments made in the SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations, 1996 related to interval schemes, uniform cut-off

    timings for applicability of NAV of mutual fund schemes

    Interval Schemes

    It has been noticed that certain Scheme Information Documents provide that the subscription to the scheme can bemade during a specific period (known as specified transaction period) and the repurchase of units is permitted on

    all business days subject to applicable loads (except for redemption during specified transaction period when noload is charged). These schemes are generally referred to as interval schemes.

    As per the current regulation, there is no restriction on tenure of securities in which interval scheme can invest.This read with daily redemption option may result in asset liability mismatch. In line with the changes made in theSEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 regarding close ended schemes, it has been decided that, henceforth, for allinterval schemes/plans

    The units will be required to be mandatorily listed.

    No redemption/repurchase of units shall be allowed except during the specified transaction period (the periodduring which both subscription and redemption may be made to and from the scheme). The specified transactionperiod shall be of minimum 2 working days. (The AMC shall ensure compliance with the equirements mentioned in

    Clause 2 from the date of next specified transaction period or April 1, 2011 whichever is later)

    Minimum duration of an interval period in an interval scheme/plan shall be 15 days.

    Investments should be permitted only in such securities which mature on or before the opening of the immedi-ately following specified transaction period.

    In case of securities with put and call options the residual time for exercising the put option of the securities shallnot be beyond the opening of the immediately following transaction period.

    Applicability:

    Schemes for which observations (final) under Regulation 29 of SEBI (Mutual Funds) Regulations, 1996 have been is-sued but are yet to be launched would be required to carry out the changes in Scheme Information Document and

    file the same with SEBI before the launch.

    Uniform cut-off timings for applicability of Net Asset Value (NAV) of Mutual Fund scheme(s)/plan(s).

    As per the current regulations, in respect of purchase of units in liquid schemes, irrespective of the time of receiptof application, where the funds are not available for utilization before the cut-off time, the closing NAV of the dayimmediately preceding the day on which the funds are available for utilization shall be applicable;

    In respect of purchase of units in Income/ Debt oriented schemes (other than liquid fund schemes and plans) withamount equal to or more than Rs. 1 crore, irrespective of the time of receipt of application, the closing NAV of theday on which the funds are available for utilization shall be applicable.

    It is observed that mutual funds are deploying funds without receiving clear funds in the scheme account. As a mat-ter of good practice and to avoid systemic risk, it has been decided to modify certain provisions of the SEBI Circular

    No. SEBI/IMD/CIR No.11/78450/06 dated October 11, 2006 as per the following details.

    With regard to Clause 5(1) of SEBI Circular No. SEBI/IMD/CIR No.11/78450/06 dated October 11, 2006 which speci-fies cut-off timings for liquid fund schemes and plans, it is clarified that for determining the applicable NAV:

    The following cut-off timings shall be observed by a mutual fund in respect of purchase of units in liquid fundschemes and their plans, and the following NAVs shall be applied for such purchase:

    where the application is received upto 2.00 p.m. on a day and funds are available or utilization before the cut-off time without availing any credit facility, whether, intra-day or otherwise the closing NAV of the day immedi-ately preceding the day of receipt of application;
