AU Small Finance Bank Limited has announced that the provisions related to Chapter XII of the SEBI Circular dated October 15, 2025, concerning fund-raising through the issuance of debt securities by Large Entities, are not applicable to the bank.
This exemption is due to AU Small Finance Bank being a Scheduled Commercial Bank, as per the Second Schedule of the Reserve Bank of India Act, 1934. Consequently, Clause 1.2 of the Chapter XII of the SEBI Master Circular for the issue and listing of Non-convertible Securities, Securitised Debt Instruments, Security Receipts, Municipal Debt Securities, and Commercial Paper, dated October 15, 2025, does not apply to the bank.
