Sebi eases share transfer for legal heirs, reintroduces open market buybacks

The regulator also doubled small-value claim thresholds and reintroduced open market buybacks via the stock exchange mechanism. Additionally, Sebi eased intra-day borrowing for mutual funds and approved a new code of conduct for its employees.
