Responsibility for artificial intelligence: depositories must ensure data security, output accuracy and legal compliance when using AI tools. Amendments require depositories to pay annual fees within fifteen days from the start of the financial year and to forward remittance details with a chartered accountant certified statement of computation of annual charges. A new 9A imposes statutory interest on unpaid, belated or short payments of fees for every month of delay, without prejudice to other actions. New regulation 82AA mandates depositories using AI/ML tools to be solely responsible for data privacy, security and integrity, for outputs from such tools, and for compliance with applicable laws.
