How do I submit comments on SEBI’s consultation papers?
Submitting your comments on SEBI’s consultation papers is a valuable way to contribute to the regulatory process. SEBI invites feedback from individuals, institutions, and stakeholders through an online form designed to gather structured public input.
Channels

- Choose the proposal you’re responding to and indicate your agreement level (e.g., Strongly Agree/Agree/Partially Agree, etc.).
- Provide comments and rationale in the text box (be specific and concise).
