Sebi mulls tech-based measures to prevent unauthorised transaction in investors’ demat account

To enhance trading security, SEBI proposes a SIM binding mechanism for authenticating trades, akin to UPI applications. The new system links mobile devices to the client’s Unique Client Code (UCC), requiring biometric authentication and utilizing QR codes for desktop access. The framework includes SIM binding, multi-device logins, and emergency backup systems. Initially optional, the phased implementation will become mandatory, targeting unauthorized transactions and enhancing investor protection across top stock brokers.

Battling the social bulls: Internet firms fear overregulation by Sebi

Social media companies and representative bodies have raised concerns about a draft proposal by the Indian market regulator, Sebi, regarding the jurisdiction and compliance burden it would impose.

SEBI proposes mandatory UPI block mechanism facility for secondary market trading

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has proposed requiring Qualified Stock Brokers (QSBs) to offer the option of trading in the secondary market using the UPI-based block mechanism. This would allow clients to trade based on blocked funds in their bank accounts instead of transferring funds upfront. SEBI has also suggested that QSBs can offer a "3-in-1 trading account facility" as an alternative. The SEBI expects this mechanism to become popular among retail investors, as it allows funds to remain in their account earning interest. Public comments on the proposals are being sought until September 12.
