- Capital markets regulator,Securities Exchange Board of India(SEBI) has requested the government to amend the Companies Act to ensure that a director declared by Sebi as a disqualified person should immediately vacate the position.This appeal was required due to defaulter businessman Vijay Mallya’s reluctance to vacate his position as a director.
