Every paper, every window, every answer

SEBI paper of 6 Nov 2026 proposes mandatory AML/CFT certification (exam developed with NISM, launched 28 Feb 2025) for principal officers of all s.12 intermediaries, with a proposed six-month compliance period; comments via SEBI online form by 27 Nov 2026. Draft circular at Annexure A.

RBI press release 2026-2027/1447 (5 Nov 2026) places five entity-wise draft Directions on the website; comments via Connect 2 Regulate or email by 26 Nov 2026; instructions not consolidated would be repealed on issuance. Publication of comments or response statement not specified.

Exposure draft dated 3 Nov 2026 operationalises SBSR Act sections 114B/114C; comments by email to named IRDAI officials by 23 Nov 2026. Split from the June 2026 regulation-making draft (irdai-regmaking-2026). FLAG: IRDAI's own exposure-drafts page did not list this draft as of 2026-11-09 (latest entry 31-07-2026) — recheck for an IRDAI-hosted document URL.

Proposal: MIIs other than recognized clearing corporations may use automatic approval for specified related activities; fund deployment is capped at the lower of 5% of net worth or regulatory minimum, with governing-board approval and half-year reporting. Not a rule in force.

Comments submitted through the IBBI website's Public Comments section.

If notified as proposed: minimum 21-day comment windows, and a published general statement of response to comments by notification date — plus a fresh consultation round when final rules differ substantially from drafts.

Released with an invitation for stakeholder comments; PFRDA's comment-publication practice is the open question this register tracks.

Board-approved procedure (18 Dec 2024) making structured pre-legislative consultation mandatory — the strongest transparency baseline among the six desks; the watch compares other regulators against it.

RBI published a 15-item summarized feedback annex (PR 1933) - responses ARE published but commenter identities are not. Rejected asks: EDF waiver continuation, service-export EDF exemption (FEMA s.7 cited), PEM retention. Accepted: monthly consolidated EDF, threshold marking-off, STPI retention, AD 5-day EDPMS window. In force 2026-10-01. Case file: /consultation-rbi-exim-fema-2026.html

Submissions were never published by RBI; commenters self-published (NASSCOM's full submission is public by its own choice). The paper set off the UPI-charges debate; the finance ministry publicly denied any plan to charge UPI, and the merchant-discount-rate question resurfaced in later rule-making.

Final PA/PG directions followed in 2020; the comment record survives only because commenters like Vidhi published their own submissions, including its delegated-legislation objections on the PSS Act.
