Sebi approves norms on finfluencers, bars registered entities from associating with them

In a significant move, the regulator approved a fixed price process for voluntary delisting, offering companies an alternative to the existing reverse book-building mechanism. Sebi chief Madhabi Puri Buch emphasised that unregulated entities providing market-related advice are acting unlawfully. The regulator also introduced a new delisting framework for investment holding companies, with the fixed price set at a 15% premium over the floor price. Additionally, SEBI granted exemptions to certain UNI funds from the beneficial ownership rule.
