    A Rs. 10 Crore Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 25 Crore Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 30 Crore Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 20 Crore Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 75 Crore Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Currently, the use of the OFS route is limited as present rules allow only promoters and those holding more than 10 per cent stake to avail of this mechanism. However, last week Sebi announced major modifications to the framework. Now, any shareholder can use the OFS route as long as they are selling shares worth over Rs 25 crore. Furthermore, the cooling-off period required between two OFSs has been reduced to as less as two weeks from 12 weeks at present. This will help companies sell shares in one or more tranches to ease out liquidity pressure.
