Dear Members

Indian bourses tumbled last week on persistent concerns about the euro zone sovereign debt situation, tougher financial regulations in some developed markets & disappointing global economic data. Sustained selling by foreign funds weighed on investor sentiments. FIIs have sold shares worth a net Rs. 8,363 crs. so far this month.

 

Some of the key circulars released last week across BFSI segment are:

 

1.     SEBI: Setting up of a Stock exchange/ a trading platform by a recognized stock exchange having nationwide trading terminals

for SME

2.     IRDA: New agency licensing portal clarifications / instructions across Life Insurance, General Insurance & Reinsurance space

3.     RBI: 2010-0056-policy-capturing mobile numbers with first digit as 6 or 7

 

Request you all to access “Circular Corner” in RAIN website for all circulars.

 

Nothing much to report on RAIN front this week.

 

More news in weeks to come……

With best regards
