He noted that the industry is facing challenges due to market slowdown and the 'True to Label' circular issued by Sebi, impacting brokers' revenues.

The Reserve Bank of India's new restrictions on unhedged currency derivatives is expected to lead to the downfall of currency derivative trading for retail traders. Nithin Kamath, the co-founder of Zerodha, stated that regulatory risk is the biggest threat faced by stock brokers. As per the RBI circular from 5 January, traders must showcase contracted or potential currency exposure to participate in currency derivatives on stock exchanges. Traders with an exposure above $100 million need to appoint a custodian participant or an authorized dealer, while those with smaller exposure require a declaration stating they are trading currencies to hedge contracted exposure.
