    Solution

    BSE received approval from the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to set up a social stock exchange (SSE) as a separate segment of the BSE. In its circular, the regulator had specified minimum requirements to be met by a non-profit organisation (NPO) for registration with SSE, disclosure requirements for NPOs raising funds through the issuance of zero-coupon zero principal instruments and put in place annual disclosure requirements that need to be made by NPOs on such exchanges.The listed NPO will have to submit a statement of the utilisation of funds to SSE, as mandated under SEBI's rules, within 45 days from the end of the quarter and an Annual Impact Report (AIR) within 90 days  from the end of financial year. SEBI Headquarters: Mumbai Chairman: Madhabi Puri Buch BSE Headquarters: Mumbai MD & CEO: Ashish Kumar Chauhan Social Stock Exchange -An SSE allows the listing of non-profit or non-government organisations on stock exchanges, providing them with an alternative fund-raising structure. It may be listed on BSE or NSE.
