Regulatory Framework
On the recommendations of Malegam committee, The concept of Book Building assumed significance in India as SEBI approved, with effect from November 1, 1995, the use of the process in pricing new issues. SEBI issued the guidelines under which the option of 100% book-building was available to only those issuer companies which are to make an issue of capital of and above Rs. 100 crore. These guidelines were modified in 1998-99. The ceiling of issue size was reduced to Rs. 25crore. SEBI modified book-building norms for public issues in 1999 and allowed the issuer to choose either the existing or the modified mode of book building.
Contd
Modified Guidelines: Compulsory display of demand at the terminals was made optional. The reservation of 15% of the issue size for individual investors could be clubbed with fixed price offer. The issuer was allowed to disclose either the issue size or the number of securities being offered. The allotment of the book built portion was required to be made in Demat mode only. In April 2000, SEBI modified guidelines for the 100% bookbuilding process. i.e. a maximum of 60% of the issue was allowed to Institutional investors and atleast 15% to noninstitutional investors who had applied for more than 1,000 shares.

Limitations of Book-Building
In India, unlike in the developed markets, the Book-building process is still dependent on good faith. It is the peer pressure and reputation that ensures that there are no defaults. The number of investors invited to apply are limited. Book building relies on much interaction among firms, merchant bankers, and investors, which is absent in India. lack of transparency at critical steps of the book building process. Absence of strong regulation. More lag time b/w issue pricing and listing. Collective bargaining power of institutions. High institutionalized holding may affect the stocks liquidity, and made it volatile as well. The limits fixed are fungible and can be altered depending upon market conditions.
