SEBI has directed all exchanges that do not possess a trading platform with an annual turnover of at least ₹1,000 crore and a net worth of ₹100 crore, and that do not have a tie-up with a clearing corporation, to exit. Since MSE i.e Madras Stock Exchange was not able to meet the SEBI standard for operating as exchange, it got shut down by SEBI in Year 2014.

Madras Stock exchange had many valuable and noteworthy companies with strong financial background and management control, such as, A.V.Thomas, BE BE Rubber Estate, Deccan Finance, L.J International, Lel Properties, Manjushree Plantation, Reed Relay & Electronics, Sree Akkamamba Textile, Ramaraju Surgical, Western India Plywood , MIL Industries, etc.

Many of these MSE listed companies got listed on national wide stock exchanges i.e BSE(Bombay Stock Exchange), NSE(National Stock Exchange), Metropolitan Stock Exchange or Kolkata Stock Exchange. Many companies have also come out with buy back offer for their shareholders to provide them liquidity option.

ADVANTAGES TO SHAREHOLDERS: De-recognized/ regional/ dash board companies are more beneficial source of investment since these companies have to be compulsorily come out with either buy back ie exit offer for investors or list themselves on recognized national level exchanges. Thus Investors have a good opportunities to be the part of valuable stock on such exchanges and get a short term exit route. SEBI has been receiving representations seeking clarifications on raising of further capital and the process of exit of ELCs from the DB. Therefore, in the interest of the investors of such ELCs, it is decided to extend the time to submit the plan of action till June 30, 2017.
