About — SEBI Act 1992
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Act of 1992 established an autonomous regulator to oversee securities markets, protect investors, and promote fair trading practices. It gave SEBI powers to register intermediaries, enforce disclosure norms, and impose penalties, thereby enhancing market confidence. For example, in 2021 SEBI fined a major brokerage ₹1.5 billion for insider trading violations.
