Government securities exemption: issuers not required to enter depository agreements and some depository rules do not apply. Amendments add Government Securities references and exempt the State or Central Government as issuer from requirements to enter agreements with depositories; they exempt depository-issuers from agreement requirements, remove certain information obligations where Government securities are issued by the State or Central Government, require daily reconciliation of dematerialised Government securities, and add an express exclusion of the chapter's application to the State or Central Government as issuer.
