India's capital market regulator, which oversees securities, protects investors, ensures fair trading, and sets investment rules for NRIs and other participants
Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is the regulatory authority for India’s securities and capital markets, established in 1992 to protect investor interests and ensure market integrity. SEBI regulates and oversees stock exchanges, brokers, mutual funds, portfolio managers, and other market participants to promote transparency, fairness, and efficiency.
Its key functions include framing regulations, preventing fraudulent trading practices, and supervising public issues like IPOs. SEBI also ensures compliance by listed companies and enforces penalties for violations.
For Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), SEBI sets guidelines for investment through Portfolio Investment Schemes (PIS), mutual funds, and other instruments. It plays a crucial role in building investor confidence and supporting the development of a strong and stable financial ecosystem in India.
