Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Sub: Streamlining issuance of SCORES Authentication for SEBI registered intermediaries

1. Please refer to Circular No. CIR/OIAE/1/2014 dated December 18, 2014 where-in SEBI had directed all listed companies and SEBI registered intermediaries (excluding  Stock  Brokers and Depository Participants) to send their details as per Form-A and Form-B respectively, annexed to the said Circular, to SEBI in hard  copy  and  by  email  to  [email protected]  in order to obtain  SCORES  user  id  and  password. 

Any existing or new listed company or SEBI registered intermediary, not having SCORES user id and password were also required to obtain the same.

2. In partial modification of the abovementioned circular, the generation of SCORES user id and password has been automated for all new SEBI registered intermediaries. This has been done to streamline the process of providing SCORES credentials in the interest of investors.

 

3. SCORES user id and password details shall be sent to all new SEBI registered intermediaries, through an auto-generated e-mail, upon completion of process of online grant of registration by SEBI.

 

4. The SCORES user id and password details shall be sent to the e-mail id of the Contact Person/Compliance Officer as provided in the online Registration Form. In view of the same, newly registered intermediaries are no longer required to submit Form-B, as provided in Circular No. CIR/OIAE/1/2014 dated December 18, 2014, to SEBI.

5. The primary e-mail address in SCORES is the e-mail ID where all notifications related to SCORES complaints are sent to the SEBI registered intermediary. All existing and new SEBI registered intermediaries will now be able to update their primary e-mail address and registered address on their own.

 

6. All listed companies will continue to follow the process, as provided in CIR/OIAE/1/2014 dated December 18, 2014, for obtaining SCORES user id and password.

7. This Circular  is  issued  in  exercise  of  powers  conferred  under  Section  11(1)  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Board  of  India  Act,  1992  to  protect  the  interests  of  investors  in  securities  and  to  promote  the  development  of,  and  to  regulate  the  securities market. 

 

 

Yours faithfully,
