About this template

What is this template?

This is a regulatory contract between the National Stock Exchange of India and a public entity. It contains specific financial reporting templates for banks versus non-banking companies and mandatory board composition ratios. It is not the initial application form but the ongoing agreement for continued listing.

When should you use it?

Use this document when a company has been approved for listing on the NSE and must formalize its reporting and governance obligations. The nearest alternative is the BSE Listing Agreement if listing on the Bombay Stock Exchange instead.
