Besides, relaxation of one month has been given for filing quarterly corporate governance report and three weeks each for shareholding pattern and statement of investor complaint reports, the regulator said in a circular. The decision has been taken in the wake of coronavirus pandemic, which has resulted in many restrictions, including the free movement of people, thereby hampering businesses and the day-to-day functioning of companies. “Development arising due to the spread of the virus warrants the need for temporary relaxation in compliance requirement of listed entities,” SEBI noted.
