CS Professional · IFSCA - Regulations, Listing and Compliances · Listing and Issuance of Securities

Ananya Bonds Ltd is listed in GIFT IFSC. IFSCA finds that its offer document contained a materially false statement, discovered after listing. The company claims that because the issue has closed and trading has commenced, no action can be taken. Which response is correct?

IFSCA can act against the issuer and responsible persons for a misleading offer document even after listing, using directions, penalties or adjudication. Closure of the issue or start of trading gives no immunity, and investor suits are not required.
