Detailed Summary

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) published the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) (Fifth Amendment) Regulations, 2025, on November 18, 2025, under F. No. SEBI/LAD-NRO/GN/2025/273. These regulations are enacted using powers conferred by section 11, sub-section (2) of section 11A, and section 30 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 (15 of 1992), read with section 31 of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 (42 of 1956). The amendments come into force on the date of publication in the Official Gazette, with sub-regulations I, III, and VII of regulation 3 taking effect on the thirtieth day from publication. Key changes include: in regulation 2(1)(zc), the definition of entities considered related parties for certain transactions is expanded to include directors or key managerial personnel (KMP) of the listed entity or its subsidiary, and their relatives. Regulation 12 sees the omission of its first and second provisos. Regulation 23 is significantly amended: sub-regulation (1) changes the threshold for material related party transactions to those specified in the newly inserted Schedule XII; sub-regulation (2) introduces new clauses (b) and (c) requiring prior audit committee approval for related party transactions above rupees one crore involving a subsidiary (but not the listed entity itself), if the value exceeds the lower of 10% of the subsidiary's annual standalone turnover/aggregate paid-up share capital and securities premium account, or the Schedule XII threshold for the listed entity. Sub-regulation (4) adds provisos clarifying that omnibus approvals for material related party transactions granted by shareholders are valid until the next annual general meeting (for AGM approvals) or for one year (for other general meeting approvals). Sub-regulation (5) clarifies that 'holding company' refers to a 'listed holding company'. Regulation 53 now requires annual reports to contain disclosures specified in the Companies Act, 2013, or the statute under which the entity is constituted, and mandates submission of annual reports to stock exchanges and debenture trustees, and publication on websites, with revised copies submitted within 48 hours after the AGM or by dispatch/submission date. Regulation 58(1)(b) allows listed entities to send a web-link or Quick Response Code for the annual report to holders of non-convertible securities who have not registered email addresses, and a new sub-regulation (1A) specifies timelines for sending documents as per Section 136 of the Companies Act, 2013, or other applicable statutes. Schedule I, clause (3) is omitted. Finally, a new Schedule XII is inserted, detailing revised thresholds for material related party transactions based on the listed entity's annual consolidated turnover: 10% for turnover up to ₹20,000 Crore; ₹2,000 Crore + 5% of turnover above ₹20,000 Crore for turnover between ₹20,000 Crore and ₹40,000 Crore; and ₹3,000 Crore + 2.5% of turnover above ₹40,000 Crore or ₹5,000 Crore (whichever is lower) for turnover exceeding ₹40,000 Crore. The notification was signed by Amit Pradhan, Executive Director.
