The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has decided to remove the linkage of its digital Management Information System from employee appraisals. The regulator is now reassessing its performance review methods to bring in a more balanced approach, according to an NDTV Profit report. The focus has moved from quantity to quality, with less emphasis on rigid performance measurements. The market has reduced the timeline for completing rights issues from 126 days to just 23 days. The new rules will come into effect from April 7, allowing companies to raise capital faster. In a circular on March 12, the SEBI also introduced more flexibility in allotting shares to specific investors in rights issues.
