    SEBI & BSE Fee Renewal

    Pay the 5-yearly renewal fee to both SEBI and BSE (RAASB) on time to keep your certificate active — see the important BSE note below.

IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM BSE — Renewal process of Certificate.
RA certificates are valid perpetually, but the renewal fee must be paid to both SEBI & BSE every five years — keep track of your renewal.
In case of non-payment of the fee, summary proceedings can be initiated against you and your certificate can be cancelled without notice. A renewal opportunity is not given once the renewal registration-fee payment period is over.
