NOC to release 1% issue amount in SEBI circular and not in DIP/ICDR regulations now, application after 4 months of listing with 2 months for bank guarantee

SEBI - OIAE/Cir-1/2009 dated November 25, 2009

Sub: Issue of No Objection Certificate for release of 1% of issue amount

As per the Listing Agreement with the Stock Exchanges, the issuer company
deposits 1% of the issue amount of the securities offered to the public and/or to the holders of the existing securities of the company, as the case may be, with the designated stock exchange. This amount was being released to issuer companies after obtaining a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from SEBI in accordance with the SEBI (Disclosure and Investor Protection - DIP) Guidelines, 2000.  However, the same provisions had not been found in the amended SEBI (ICDR) Regulations, 2009 which has replaced DIP.  Hence, this circular is issued.

For the purpose of obtaining the NOC, the issuer company shall submit an application on its letter head addressed to SEBI in the format specified in Annexure – A, after lapse of 4 months from listing on the Exchange which was the last to permit listing. The application shall be filed by the post issue lead merchant banker with the concerned designated office of SEBI under which the registered office of the issuer company falls, as specified in Annexure – B. On the date of application, the bank guarantees, if any, included in 1% deposit must have a residual validity of at least 2 months.


SEBI shall issue the NOC after satisfying itself that the complaints arising from the issue received by SEBI against the Company have been resolved to its satisfaction, the Company has been submitting monthly Action Taken Reports on the complaints forwarded by SEBI to the company as per the proforma specified in Annexure – C, and the fees due to intermediaries associated with the issue process including ASBA Banks have been paid.
