  "account": "India's Securities and Exchange Board has put forth a proposal for more stringent guidelines governing equity fundraising, mandating reporting entities to liaise directly with stock exchanges, according to a consultation paper unveiled on Tuesday. Under the proposed regulations, all listed companies, barring those designated for an offer for sale, would be mandated to engage a monitoring agency for equity issuances irrespective of their size. Reporting agencies would be obliged to furnish updates to stock exchanges within stipulated timeframes. Stock exchanges would be endowed with the authority to levy penalties on companies in instances of non-compliance with agency reports. The proposal also stipulates a course of action for situations where companies fail to cooperate with monitoring agencies. In such scenarios, agencies would be obligated to submit reports predicated on available data alongside a disclaimer of non-cooperation. The Securities and Exchange Board of India published the consultation paper outlining proposed rule adjustments for listed companies. This development follows a period marked by a slowdown in fundraising activity, precipitated by an equity selloff following the Iran conflict.",
