Rupee bond sales set to halt as India upgrades platform
Indian Rupee Rupee-denominated bond sales are set to grind to a halt in a few days as India’s government upgrades an online portal used by companies to file regulatory documents. Starting Jan. 7, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs portal will be unavailable for companies to file a so-called PAS-3 form, or “return-of-allotment” form, as the administration migrates to a new version of its e-filing platform. The service will be unavailable until Jan. 22, according to a statement on the ministry’s website. The move could delay new sales because issuers can’t use funds raised through the sale of any bonds until they file the return-of-allotment form, which lists all security holders. “PAS-3 form is filed to the Registrar of Companies using the MCA portal, and only after filing this form can the bond proceeds be used,” said Jayen Shah, founder of Mavuca Capital Advisors Pvt., a fintech investment banking firm. “Given e-filings can’t be done, it will hurt issuance during this … [Read more...] about Rupee bond sales set to halt as India upgrades platform
