Industry Standards Forum (“ISF”) comprising of representatives from ASSOCHAM, CII and FICCI in consultation with SEBI, formulated Industry Standards on “Minimum information to be provided for review of the audit committee and shareholders for approval of a related party transaction.

ISF in consultation with the SEBI, came out with the revised Industry Standards on “Minimum information to be provided to the Audit Committee and Shareholders for approval of Related Party Transactions. SEBI issued Circular dated 26.06.2025 to implement the revised Standards on RPT.
