New Delhi: Markets regulator Sebi has amended rules, requiring stock exchanges and clearing corporations to disclose their shareholding pattern on their respective websites every quarter. To give this effect, Sebi has amended the Securities Contracts (Regulation) (Stock Exchanges and Clearing Corporations) Regulations, 2018.
