SEBI

SEBI vide Circular has tightened rules for credit rating agencies (CRAs). The new guidelines standardises the rating criteria, method of public disclosures, the internal functioning of rating committees and disallows the suspension of ratings. The Guidelines provides that each CRA shall disclose on its website details of all the ratings it has assigned, irrespective of whether the rating was accepted by the issuer or not, even in case of non-public issues. If the company stops co-operating with the CRA and does not provide information, the CRA must continue to publish a rating accompanied with the statement, “Issuer did not co-operate; Based on best available information” in the same font size. This means a CRA cannot suspend a rating based on a lack of information provided by the issuer.
