Introduction of AI-Based Assistance for DRHPs filed on the BSE SME Platform

Notification / Circular No. – 20250617-3 dated June 17, 2025

Applicable Act / Rule – SEBI (Issue of Capital and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2018

To enhance efficiency in SME listings and streamline the filing of Draft Red Herring Prospectuses (DRHPs), BSE has introduced a Generative AI-based assistance tool. This tool will allow merchant bankers to conduct a pre-validation of their draft offer documents before formal submission to the exchange.

Merchant bankers can now access a secure SFTP folder to upload draft offer documents. BSE’s AI system will review these documents based on SEBI regulations, exchange norms, and other basic compliance checks. A downloadable AI-generated report will be made available to highlight areas needing attention, helping merchant bankers refine the document prior to formal filing.

  • This initiative aims to fast-track preliminary observations and improve document quality before the in-principle approval stage.
  • The AI check is voluntary and advisory; the exchange will still conduct a full review upon formal submission.
