IMPORTANT UPDATES FOR LISTED COMPANIES SINGLE FILING SYSTEM THROUGH API-BASED INTEGRATION

IMPORTANT UPDATES FOR LISTED COMPANIES 

SINGLE FILING SYSTEM THROUGH API-BASED INTEGRATION

A single filing system using API-based integration between stock exchanges would let companies submit disclosures once, with the data automatically shared in real time across all exchanges 

BSE has announced an extension of the single filing system through API-based integration between Stock Exchanges, further simplifying compliance for listed entities.

WHY SINGLE FILING SYSTEM IS INTRODUCED?

ü Why must a listed company disclose the same information separately to multiple stock exchanges? 

ü If exchanges are ultimately consuming the same disclosure, why not integrate them through APIs? 

ü And if compliance can be simplified without weakening oversight, should complexity be preserved at all?

ADVANTAGES

A single filing system using API-based integration between stock exchanges would let companies submit disclosures once, with the data automatically shared in real time across all exchanges—eliminating duplicate filings, reducing compliance errors, and improving speed, consistency, and regulatory oversight.
