SEBI had earlier extended the timeline for compliance from May 31, 2020, to June 30, 2020 in view of the difficulties and challenges faced by listed entities and Practicing Company Secretaries due to COVID-19.
Now, in view of the continuing impact of the CoVID-19 pandemic, a further extension has been granted.
