Markets regulator Sebi has made it easier for low risk foreign investors to participate in the Indian securities market with the introduction of a single window access, a move aimed at simplifying compliance and enhancing the country's attractiveness as an investment destination. The new framework -- Single Window Automatic & Generalised Access for Trusted Foreign Investors (SWAGAT-FI) -- would provide easier investment access to low risk foreign investors, enable a unified registration process across multiple investment routes and reduce repeated compliance and documentation for such entities. The low risk foreign investors identified by Sebi include government-owned funds, central banks, sovereign wealth funds, multilateral entities, highly regulated public retail funds, and appropriately regulated insurance companies, as well as pension funds. According to two separate notifications dated December 1, Sebi introduced the SWAGAT-FI framework for FPIs and Foreign Venture Capital ..

Markets regulator Sebi is looking to rationalise and simplify the offer document summary to encourage informed investor feedback and reduce reliance on unverified tips, its chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said on Monday. This move will also dispense with the Abridged Prospectus, thereby easing compliance requirements for issuers, he added. At present, offer documents are typically voluminous and packed with detailed disclosures across various aspects of an issuer company. To address this, Pandey had stated last month that the contents of the offer document summary for IPO-bound companies would be further streamlined to make them more accessible and useful for investors. Addressing the CII Southern Region in Chennai, Pandey reiterated this stance, noting, "We are proposing to rationalise and simplify the Offer Document Summary, to be made available separately to investors, encouraging informed feedback and reducing reliance on unverified tips". Additionally, he said a comprehensive rev

Sebi on Friday proposed that all regulated entities and their agents should prominently display registered name and registration number on the home page of their social media platforms. This proposal comes after the regulator observed the growing need to clearly distinguish content uploaded by Sebi-regulated persons from material posted by unregistered individuals on social media. According to Sebi, such differentiation is essential to prevent investors from being misled. Further, while publishing videos or any other content on social-media platforms (SMPs), regulated entities should ensure that their material does not include anything prohibited under law or anything that may harm investors' interests, Sebi suggested in its consultation paper. "All persons regulated by the Board and their agents (mutual fund distributors, distributors of portfolio management services, etc) shall prominently disclose their registered name and registration number on the home page of their social med

Markets regulator Sebi Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey on Thursday stressed the need to strengthen investor protection, warning that unregistered advisory groups continue to lure individuals into unsafe trading channels and that dabba trading keeps resurfacing in new digital forms. Addressing a regional investor awareness seminar organised by the BSE in Coimbatore, Pandey said the challenge has intensified in an age where misinformation spreads faster than facts. Fraudulent trading apps look convincing, digital profiles mimic legitimacy, and guaranteed-return schemes promise what no regulated market can offer. Reiterating the seriousness of the threat, he noted that such "unregistered advisory groups lure individuals into unsafe trading channels, and dabba trading continues to reappear in new digital disguises". Such unregistered advisory groups and disguised dabba operations are not isolated incidents, but coordinated attempts to exploit investor trust, curiosity and aspiration. This .
