RBI's priority-sector consolidation drafts, IRDAI's subsidiary-instructions rule and SEBI's AML/CFT certification paper all opened for comments this week; two SEBI windows closed on schedule. The comments-disclosure RTI log is still at zero filings.
IRDAI's distribution-reforms consultation closed on 31 October with 650+ comments banked and no published commitment to show them; banks routed objections through IBA and ASFBI. Two SEBI windows close this week.
IRDAI extended its distribution-reforms window after reporting 650+ comments; SEBI opened a proposal to shift some MII decisions to an automatic route, with board controls and reporting.
SEBI opened consultations on issue-proceeds monitoring and SME IPO rules; one proposes a ₹1 lakh minimum application. Both comment windows remain open, with feedback-publication status unverified.
LobbyWatch’s ledgers record no consultation opening or closing, dated revolving-door move, or filed RTI request for 5–12 October. That describes the public record we hold, not everything that happened.
RBI's FEMA Export & Import Regulations 2026 came with something this desk almost never gets — a published summary of who asked for what and what the regulator said.

SEBI closed its Closing Auction Session consultation after recording 20,000 comments; the next test is whether submissions and the regulator’s response become visible.
IRDAI’s distribution-reform consultation puts commissions, disclosure and policyholder choice on the table; the ledger still cannot say whether comments will be public.
