Compliance after registration

BSE observation response

BSE reviews every Research Analyst and Investment Adviser application before it goes to SEBI, and raises observations. If you filed the application yourself and it came back, we draft the corrected response so it clears in the next round.

Who it applies to

Research Analysts and Investment Advisers who filed their own application.

To see when this and your other duties fall due, use the free compliance calendar.

What the rule says
  • Applications are made to the BSE administration body, RAASB for Research Analysts and IAASB for Investment Advisers. It scrutinises the application and recommends it to SEBI, which grants the registration.
  • Observations come back as a list of items to correct or explain.
  • SEBI does not commit to a processing timeline, and neither can we.
What we do
  • Read each observation and the application it relates to.
  • Draft the corrected declarations, write-ups and annexures in the prescribed formats.
  • Fix date and name inconsistencies across the documents.
  • Re-upload the response through the portal, one round per fee.
What we need from you
  • The observation list from BSE.
  • The application as you filed it and your supporting documents.
  • The current status on the BSE portal and any steps still pending on your side.
What it costs

₹7,500 per round

For self-filers. If we prepared your registration, observation responses cost you nothing extra.

Questions
I did not use BuildWright for registration. Can you still help?

Yes. This service is for exactly that case, at ₹7,500 for each round of observations.

Is there a charge if you prepared my registration?

No. Our own registration clients pay nothing extra for observation responses.

How long until it is cleared?

We cannot commit to a timeline. Processing rests with the BSE administration body and SEBI.

Do you guarantee the registration?

No. We prepare accurate responses. The decision is SEBI's.

Want this taken off your list?

BuildWright Consultants provides documentation, application-drafting, and compliance facilitation for SEBI Investment Adviser and Research Analyst registration. This is not legal advice and does not replace a qualified professional. We are not SEBI and do not guarantee registration outcomes. Eligibility, deposit, fee, and timeline requirements are as prescribed by SEBI from time to time. Every figure we publish names the SEBI document it came from and the date it was read, and we re-confirm it against the current circular during scoping.
