The Chairman, Managing Director, Company Secretary and CFO, jointly or severally, shall take a view on materiality of an event or information qualifying for disclosure under clause 30 of the Regulations, decide the appropriate time at which such disclosure is to be filed with Stock Exchange(s) and details that may be filed in the best interest of present and potential investors.
The above KMP are jointly or severally authorized for making disclosures of such material events or information, to the Stock Exchange(s).
Criteria for Determining Materiality
While determining whether an event or information is material, the designated authority shall consider the criteria given in sub-regulation (4) of Regulation 30 of the SEBI Regulations, enumerated herein below :-
