The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is considering implementing guidelines to regulate financial influencers, or "finfluencers," who provide investment advice and financial information on platforms like Instagram and YouTube. SEBI aims to bring transparency and accountability to the financial services space by ensuring that finfluencers disclose any paid promotions or connections to the products they endorse, adhere to regulations, provide accurate information, and prioritize financial education. Adjudicating the definition of finfluencers and addressing legal challenges present potential obstacles to effective enforcement. This move comes as the popularity and influence of finfluencers continue to grow.

SEBI has released a consultation paper proposing that regulated intermediaries distance themselves from unregistered financial influencers, or "finfluencers," who provide advice on financial matters via digital media. The proposal aims to limit affiliations between regulated entities and unregistered finfluencers, seeking public opinions on the issue. The paper prohibits intermediaries from establishing connections with unregistered entities to curb promotion and endorsement activities. SEBI-registered finfluencers must prominently display their registration numbers, contact details, and investor grievance helpline information. Similar moves are seen in the Advertising Standards Council of India's influencer advertising guidelines, enhancing responsibilities for health and finance influencers.
