Minimum public shareholding enforcement: exchanges to impose penalties and freeze promoter holdings until compliance is restored. Non-compliance with the Minimum Public Shareholding requirements obliges recognised stock exchanges to issue notices and impose daily monetary penalties, direct depositories to freeze promoters' and promoter group shareholdings, and restrict promoters and directors from accepting new directorships in other listed entities until compliance. Persistent non-compliance escalates penalties and freezing of all securities in promoters' demat accounts; exchanges may also consider compulsory delisting. Upon satisfaction of compliance, exchanges must instruct depositories to unfreeze securities, lift restrictions, and publish compliance status.
