Listing of equity series takes place in categories “A”  “B” or "T". For listing in category “T”, in addition to the above general requirements – which are basically requirements of the law –, the Exchange does not impose further conditions. In Category "B", in addition to the basic requirements of the law, BSE prescribes a public transaction to be carried out, with regard to the equity series to be listed. In the case of an application for listing in category “A”, the company and the series of securities to be listed shall comply with certain further requirements (size of the series, free float, number of shareholders, completed business years). A public transaction (involving the securities series to be listed) is mandatory in Category "A" as well; however, in this category, issuers may request a one-year postponement to fulfill this obligation. The requirements of the different categories are summarised in the table below:
