About this template

What is this template?

This is a mandatory regulatory contract between a corporate entity and the National Stock Exchange of India. It is not a commercial service level agreement and specifically includes commitments to adhere to SEBI (LODR) Regulations 2015. The document contains specific provisions for the payment of listing fees and the submission of periodic financial results.

When should you use it?

Use this document when a company has received 'in-principle' approval for listing its shares or debentures on the NSE. The nearest alternative would be the listing agreement for the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), which follows a similar SEBI-mandated format.
