π’ SEBI Master Circular for Debenture Trustees 2026 β Key Points
SEBI has issued the Master Circular for Debenture Trustees on September 28, 2026, consolidating the applicable regulatory framework into 17 chapters and rescinding the earlier Master Circular dated August 13, 2025.
Here are the important points so you can understand the update without visiting the website:
πΉ Regulation 9C & SBU
Debenture Trustees carrying out non-SEBI-regulated activities have to operate those activities through separate Separate Business Units (SBUs) with appropriate segregation, records, grievance mechanisms and disclosures.
π Key deadline: October 27, 2026 for implementation of the Regulation 9C/SBU framework.
πΉ Security & Covenant Monitoring System
Depositories will operate the system for recording security creation, security cover, covenants, payments and credit-rating information. A unique 12-digit Asset ID is generated for assets offered as security, with duplicate checks built into the system.
πΉ Recovery Expense Fund (REF)
Issuers proposing to list debt securities must contribute 0.01% of the issue size, subject to a maximum of βΉ25 lakh per issuer. The fund can be used by the Debenture Trustee for specified enforcement and legal expenses in case of default.
πΉ Security Cover Certificate
The issuer has quarterly security-cover requirements, while the trustee has corresponding reporting obligations. Key timelines include 60/75 days for issuer submissions and 75/90 days for trustee submissions, depending on the quarter.
πΉ Default & Investor Consent
For listed debt securities, the default process includes notice within 3 days and a meeting within 30 days, subject to the applicable provisions. The requisite majority is 75% by value and 60% by number at the ISIN level. Enforcement uses negative consent, while signing an ICA involves positive consent.
πΉ Investor Grievances & SCORES
Debenture Trustees must provide a dedicated grievance mechanism, publish complaint data by the 7th of the succeeding month, and take steps to resolve SCORES complaints within 30 days.
πΉ Website Disclosures
The circular also covers disclosure of credit-rating revisions, payment status, security cover, defaults, complaints and other information on the trustee's website.
πΉ FINNET 2.0
Debenture Trustees registered in FINNET 1.0 are required to re-register in FINNET 2.0, while entities not yet registered with FIU-India are required to register.
πΉ Outsourcing & Conflict of Interest
Core business and compliance functions cannot be outsourced. The circular also contains requirements relating to outsourcing risk, conflicts of interest, internal controls and regulatory access.
π The Master Circular also consolidates and supersedes five earlier circulars, including the August 13, 2025 Master Circular and the November 2025 circulars on issuer timelines, REF and Regulation 9C-related requirements.
