Dispensation from Disclosure of Margin Pledge Created in Depository System

Regulation 29(4) of the Takeover Regulations requires that for the purposes of disclosure under Regulations 29(1) and (2), shares taken by way of encumbrance are to be treated as an acquisition, shares given upon release of encumbrance are to be treated as a disposal, and disclosures are required to be made accordingly. By its Circular dated September 2, 2020, SEBI has dispensed with the requirement to make disclosures under Regulation 29(4) of the Takeover Regulations in relation to shares encumbered with trading member/ clearing member as collateral from clients for margin obligation in the ordinary course of stock broking business.
