For SEBI-registered Research Analysts in India
Compliance calendar for SEBI Research Analysts
An RA has dates every month and every half-year, and they are easy to lose. Aktai adds the recurring SEBI dates to your calendar when you sign up, adds per-client renewals as they come due, and puts the most urgent item on one strip on your home page.
Included on: All plans
What it does
- Annual compliance audit, to be completed by 30 September.
- Publish the audit status, and file the audit report with RAASB by 31 October.
- Half-yearly periodic report to RAASB, within 30 days of 31 March and 30 September.
- Half-yearly SaaS undertaking, filed with the periodic report.
- Client-level segregation certificate, and monthly complaint data by the 7th.
- NISM certification renewal, plus per-client risk profile and fee consent renewals.
- Add your own tasks. The Today page and a to-do strip show what needs you first.

| Knowing the dates | Reading the master circular every year. | Recurring RA dates added for you. |

The SEBI rule behind it
- RA Master Circular (6 Feb 2026), para 1.14; SEBI circular of 25 Mar 2026 (ICMAI)
- Annual compliance audit, completed by 30 September and submitted by 31 October. Since 25 Mar 2026, ICMAI members may also audit.
- RA Master Circular (6 Feb 2026), para 1.14(d)
- Publish the audit status and any adverse findings with the action taken.
- RA Master Circular (6 Feb 2026), para 29 and para 30
- Half-yearly periodic report to RAASB within 30 days of 30 September and 31 March, and the half-yearly SaaS undertaking.
- RA Master Circular (6 Feb 2026), para 1.10(h) and para 7.3
- Client-level segregation certificate, and complaint data published by the 7th of each month.
Summaries in plain words, not the legal text. SEBI amends its rules and circulars, so check the current version on sebi.gov.in before you rely on any of this. Aktai is the software and the record. Compliance stays with you as the registered Research Analyst. This is not legal advice.
What it does not do
- The dates come from the master circular as Aktai reads it, and SEBI changes them. Check each one against the current circular.
- The due date for the client-level segregation certificate is not fixed in the circular as we read it. Confirm it with your auditor.
- Reminders are a courtesy to help you track your own dates. Your deadlines, your audit and its outcome stay with you, as clause 2.9 of the Aktai-RA MSA says.
Frequently asked questions
Which dates does Aktai add for me?
The annual audit, publishing the audit status and filing with RAASB, the half-yearly periodic report and SaaS undertaking, the client-level segregation certificate, monthly complaint data by the 7th, and NISM renewal.
Can I add my own tasks?
Yes. Add any task with a due date. It shows on the calendar and on the Today page.
Does it cover per-client deadlines?
Yes. Risk profile and fee consent renewals are added per client as they come due.
Will I get reminded?
The most urgent open item shows on a to-do strip in the portal, and the monthly complaint data also gets a reminder email. A reminder that is late or missing does not move any SEBI deadline.
Does Aktai file anything for me?
No. Aktai tracks the dates and the evidence. Filings with RAASB and BSE are yours to make.
