SEBI Extends Deadline For Debenture Trustees To Segregate Non-Regulated Activities To October 2026

SEBI has given debenture trustees six more months to meet conditions governing activities carried out outside its regulatory purview.

The move follows amendments notified on October 27, 2025 to the SEBI (Debenture Trustees) Regulations, 1993. These require trustees to shift activities that are not regulated by SEBI into separate business units within six months unless the Board allows more time.

The extension comes after industry representations pointed to operational challenges in putting in place the required systems and processes.

Debenture trustees must implement the provisions by October 27, 2026.
