Representations have been received for extending the validity of such clarification. The Circular (Number SEBI/HO/CFD/DIL1/CIR/P/2020/ 136) issued by SEBI on 24th July, 2020 has also been considered. In view of this, it has been decided that clarification given under para 2 of General Circular 21/2020 dated 11th May, 2020, would continue to be applicable for rights issues, in case of listed companies, opening upto 31st December, 2020.
Accordingly, in case of listed companies, which comply with relevant circulars issued by SEBI, inability to dispatch the relevant notice to shareholders through registered post or speed post or courier would not be viewed as violation of section 62(2) of the Act for rights issues opening upto 31st December, 2020. Other requirement provided in the said General Circular remain unchanged.
