>From listed companies' point of view, to the best of my knowledge and reading, for the first time SEBI has said that the obligation in relation to availability of information in public domain is that it should be accessible to the public in non-discriminatory basis.
This is said in the context of insider trading, I.e. this definition helps in determine what may amount to insider trading under the new Prohibition of Insider Trading Regulations 2015. All other laws and regulations issued by SEBI and framework of stock-exchanges seek to regulate how and at what stage the disclosures are to be made. I get what you are intending at, but in the current framework of laws (at least from the commercial side of laws), I don't think that this route is possible to get the desired information. Unless some disability law expert has a contrary opinion on it. Access to information from investors prospective has remained a huge challenge and even from our work prospective it continues to be a challenge. If you think it to be a wise step, then please drop an email to SEBI Chairman asking for a regulatory step in this direction based on financial inclusion philosophy. And please mark me a copy on [email protected] When SEBI can prescribe dress code in their regulations, then why cannot a circular be issued to standardize the information in a specified format which is put out in a public domain! Hope that brings some clarity. Regards, -- Amar Jain.
