For example, the Debenture Trustee must update the interest payment status within seven working days of the payment due date. Similarly, the issuer must share an audit certificate relating to the debenture&#8217;s security or asset cover every six months.<\/li><li>Second: to use DLT&#8217;s immutability to make documents difficult to alter.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On 7th May, 2022 Madhabi Puri Buch, the head of India\u2019s securities regulator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sebi.gov.in\/\">SEBI<\/a>, announced that the National Securities Depository Limited (<a href=\"https:\/\/nsdl.co.in\/\">NSDL<\/a>) has gone live with this blockchain system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/xMCjU82_lb1E8I7NpHY-AFCOelR6U_6iTpc9ZNRiHYmVF_5KIPtiFaRuYhrhmKOYUF7rYhJ2ejIBRGFFY918iBWUPRCE7ojGNAIkdNofj2JpKVNiTXXO_hvTSMaZWA6JJySRJcM1Lh06RbZ78Q\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"463\"\/><figcaption>Source: https:\/\/coinnounce.com\/indias-nsdl-launches-a-blockchain-based-security-monitoring-platform-for-bonds\/<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Individuals can view all the data kept on the blockchain network because of its transparency and real-time nature, according to Buch. She goes on to say that the technology also allows for infinite division. This divisibility makes it easier to break down digital assets, cash, and other data into smaller pieces, allowing for greater financial inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The SEBI chairman, on the other hand, expressed reservations about the technology&#8217;s cost-effectiveness. While many people consider DLT to be cost-effective, she believes it is not in its current state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If cost-effectiveness is accomplished, it will be yet another attractive characteristic of DLT technology,&#8221; she added. On the other hand, Buch expressed concern about the technology\u2019s anonymity which cannot be employed and utilized in financial transactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is in contrast to other blockchain bond solutions which look to tokenize the bond itself.
