The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) is in talks with the department of company affairs for seeking power to regulate stock splits below a certain value.Damodaran said as part of this, Sebi would encourage companies to declare dividends in absolute terms (in rupees) and not percentage terms, which often led to misinterpretations.
