Securities and Exchange Board of India Rolls Out New Threshold Criteria to Assess Materiality in Related Party Deals

• The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) introduced a threshold-based framework to determine materiality of Related Party Transactions (RPTs) based on annual consolidated turnover of listed companies.
• A Related Party Transaction refers to dealings with subsidiaries, promoters, directors, or significant influencing entities, which may pose conflict-of-interest risks.
• The new norms aim to remove ambiguities, address practical challenges, and balance investor protection with ease of doing business under Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements (LODR) norms.

Key Highlights :

• Turnover up to ₹20,000 crore: RPT is material if it exceeds 10% of annual consolidated turnover.
• For companies with turnover ₹20,001–₹40,000 crore, the materiality threshold is ₹2,000 crore + 5% of turnover exceeding ₹20,000 crore.
• For companies with turnover above ₹40,000 crore, the threshold is ₹3,000 crore + 2.5% of turnover exceeding ₹40,000 crore, with an upper ceiling of ₹5,000 crore to protect minority shareholders.
• Earlier, under LODR, an RPT was material if it exceeded ₹1,000 crore or 10% of annual consolidated turnover, whichever was lower.
• Stakeholders argued the ₹1,000 crore limit followed a one-size-fits-all approach, ignoring differences in operational scale and business models.
• SEBI has relaxed disclosure requirements, allowing simplified information submission if the total RPT value does not exceed 1% of annual turnover or ₹10 crore, whichever was lower.
• The simplified disclosures reduce compliance burden, particularly for mid-cap and small-cap companies.
• Omnibus approvals granted in an AGM remain valid until the next AGM, while approvals in other general meetings are valid for one year from the date of approval.
• The new framework promotes proportionality, flexibility, and risk-based compliance in handling RPTs.

About SEBI :

• Established : 12 April 1988 as an executive body and was given statutory powers on 30 January 1992 through the SEBI Act, 1992
• Headquarters : Mumbai, Maharashtra
• Chairman : Tuhin Kanta Pandey
