2. As per the procedure laid down in the above circular, the Depositories provide daily trade data of the promoters/promoter group to the Registrar and Share Transfer Agents (RTAs) and the RTAs provide the necessary information to the stock exchanges for dissemination of disclosures to the public in terms of SEBI (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations, 2011 and SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015.

Based on the experience gained from the implementation of the system, it has now been decided in discussion with the stock exchanges, depositories and RTAs, to streamline the procedure such that the depositories shall provide the transaction data of promoters/promoter group on a daily basis directly to the stock exchanges for dissemination of the necessary disclosures.
