Notes

  • SEBI has released a consultation paper proposing a common advertisement code for all regulated entities.
  • The primary objectives are to simplify advertisement regulations and reduce compliance costs for smaller entities.
  • The proposal includes allowing celebrity endorsements for brands or entities, provided specific conditions and disclaimers are met.
  • SEBI intends to transition from a 'prior approval' model for advertisements to a 'post-issuance reporting' model.
  • The implementation of these proposals would require an amendment to the SEBI (Intermediaries Regulations), 2008.
  • The public consultation period for these proposals is open until July 14.
