Currently, such an appointment is compulsory only if the public issue size exceeds Rs 500 crore. Sebi said the move is aimed at strengthening the monitoring of utilization of all the equity capital raised by selling shares to the public.

Also, such reports will be required to be put out on the stock exchanges' website to keep investors informed.
To curb misuse of money raised through a public issue, Sebi proposed to make it mandatory for the monitoring agency to assign grades to the issuer.
In order to ensure that the monitoring process is carried out effectively, Sebi proposed that a committee of board of directors of the company has to be constituted to oversee the monitoring of utilization of issue proceeds before opening of the public issue. This sub-committee will facilitate monitoring of issue proceeds by monitoring agency. A majority of the members of such a sub-committee will have to be independent directors, Sebi suggested.
Sebi has sought public comments on the proposals till 25 March 2014.
