Many Indian companies are now-a-days looking busy in collecting data related to pledge shares, after recent SEBI’s move. As per Sebi’s new guideline, all companies will have to reveal information about shares pledged by promoters within a period of 7 days after the promoters give the companies an intimation. The regulator's announcement comes in the wake of the Satyam scam, wherein promoter Ramalinga Raju had pledged nearly all his shares, whose prices he had inflated by falsifying profits.
