Sebi on Thursday issued a new format for disclosing details about payment of fees applicable under the issuance of debt securities rules.

In July, Sebi said that market infrastructure institutions, including stock exchanges, registered intermediaries, and companies that have listed or are intending to list their securities on a stock exchange have to pay 18 per cent GST on the fees charged by the regulator.

This is also applicable to persons who are dealing in the securities market.

The tax rate was effective from July 18.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has amended the chapter that deals with bank account details for payment of fees of the NCS (Issue and Listing of Non-Convertible Securities) rules, according to a circular.

The issuers would also have to mention the purpose for which the remittance was made and details about the registered office address of the remitter.

The circular would come into force with immediate effect, Sebi said.
