Markets regulator Sebi on Monday extended its automated trading window closure mechanism to include immediate relatives of designated persons (DPs) in listed companies, ahead of the declaration of financial results. This move aims to prevent inadvertent non-compliance with insider trading norms by ensuring that those who may have access to unpublished price-sensitive information (UPSI) such as quarterly results are prohibited from trading during specific periods. Earlier, the restriction applied only to DPs. Now, Sebi has extended the scope to cover their immediate relatives as well, according to its circular. As per Sebi's definition, an immediate relative includes a spouse, and also a parent, sibling, or child (of the person or the spouse), provided they are financially dependent or consult the person in decisions related to trading in securities. This move follows a system already in place for DPs, which uses PAN-based trading freeze. To ensure a smooth rollout, the implementa
