The International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA) on August 25, 2026, issued Extension of timeline for obtaining International Securities Identification Numbers (ISINs) from a recognised depository in IFSC.
The ISIN Circular, inter-alia, directs the units in IFSC which have already obtained ISINs from the domestic depositories in India for the securities or other permitted financial products, to obtain new ISINs from a depository recognised by the IFSCA, by August 31, 2026.
Based on the representations received from the stakeholders, it has been decided to extend the above-mentioned timeline to December 31, 2026.
Consequently, the timeline for the recognised depository in the IFSC to submit a compliance report to IFSCA confirming completion of the transition process, stands extended to January 31, 2027.
