SEBI replaces notary attestation with self-attestation in Regulations

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) recently made a significant change that could make your life a lot easier if you deal with securities and exchange regulations. The new 2024 Amendment Regulations, which came into effect on November 28, 2024, have replaced the need for notary attestation with self-attestation in various SEBI regulations.

Here are the key takeaways from this update:

– The requirement of notary attestation has been replaced with self-attestation in various forms across different SEBI regulations.
– Specific regulations have been amended to allow for self-attested applications instead of sworn affidavits.
– The process for seeking relaxation or exemption in certain regulations now only requires self-attestation.

This change aims to streamline the document attestation process and make it more convenient for those dealing with SEBI regulations. So, next time you need to attest a document, you can save time and hassle by using self-attestation instead of notary attestation.

This update is a small step towards making financial regulations more accessible and user-friendly for everyone involved. Make sure to stay informed about such regulatory changes to navigate the financial landscape more effectively.
