Adjudication procedure defines adjudicating officer and scope of inquiry under depositories rules, ensuring consistent term meanings.

Definitions for the Rules specify that the "Act" refers to the Depositories Act, 1996; the "adjudicating officer" is the officer appointed by the Board under the Act; and "inquiry" denotes the inquiry referenced in the Act. Terms not defined in the Rules take their meanings from the Depositories Act, 1996, and a subsequent notification amended a statutory cross reference.
