LODR disclosure timelines — the ones to memorise
Regulation 30 read with Schedule III governs material-event disclosure.
| Event source |
Deadline |

30 minutes of the board meeting concluding (3 hours if it concludes after trading hours, per current practice) |
| Event emanating from within the entity |
12 hours |
| Event emanating from outside the entity |
24 hours |
| Rumour verification (specified top-listed entities, on material price movement) |
24 hours |

| Related party transaction disclosure |
Reg 23(9) |
Half-yearly, on the date of results publication |
Schedule III Para A events are deemed material and must be disclosed regardless of thresholds (board outcomes, acquisitions, fraud, resignation of auditors/KMP with reasons, insolvency proceedings, cyber incidents, and similar). Schedule III Para B events are disclosed only if they clear the entity's board-approved materiality policy, which itself must apply a quantitative threshold based on the lower of a percentage of turnover, net worth, or profit — read the specific company's policy, which is a mandatory website disclosure.
Regulations are amended frequently. Always confirm the current text against SEBI's master circular on LODR before relying on a deadline in written work.
Reading an announcement
Announcements arrive as PDFs with unhelpful titles. Triage by category:
- Board meeting intimation (Reg 29) — filed 2–5 working days ahead. Read the purpose: "to consider fund raising" and "to consider results" are very different events.
- Outcome of board meeting (Reg 30) — the actual decision.
- Investor/analyst meet intimation and schedule (Reg 30 Sch III Para A(15)) — attendance list tells you which funds are looking.
- Newspaper publication — no signal, ignore.
- Trading window closure (PIT Reg) — routine.
- Loss of share certificates — noise. Filter these out.
- Reply to exchange clarification — high signal. The exchange asked because of price movement or a media report. Read every one.
- Credit rating (Reg 30) — read the agency rationale, not the company's summary.
Reconstructing a company's announcement history
When asked "what happened at company X", build a dated timeline from:
- All Reg 30 announcements for the period
- Shareholding pattern quarter by quarter — promoter %, pledge %, FII/DII %
- Bulk/block deals
- SAST and PIT disclosures (who bought and sold, and when, among insiders)
- Rating actions
- Any SEBI/NFRA/NCLT action
Then align against the price chart. Disclosure that lags a price move is the pattern regulators look for, and so should you.
Verification discipline
- A filing is the primary source. A news article about a filing is not. Always trace back.
- Exchange PDFs are the record; a company's IR-page summary can differ.
- If NSE and BSE versions differ, note it — it is rare and worth a question.
- Date every citation. Indian filings are frequently revised and re-filed.
- When a document cannot be retrieved, say so explicitly and name what you tried. Do not reconstruct a filing's contents from memory.
