PMO joins search panel for sebi boss

As the search continues for next chief of the markets regulator Sebi, the government has reconstituted the search-cum-selection panel which would now include a representative from the Prime Minister’s Office.

While the panel, headed by Cabinet Secretary, will continue to have economic affairs secretary, the provision of the finance minister nominating up to two persons as members has been done away with.

Members of the revam-ped panel will accordingly include additional principal secretary to the Prime Minister, economic affairs secretary and three experts of repute, an official order said.

Earlier, the committee did not have any member from the PMO, while there were two experts nominated by the Centre.
