The Investor Charter of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has been updated to provide better protection for investors.
The updated charter emphasizes the importance of keeping investor information confidential and the right of investors to exit services from securities market products on fair and reasonable terms.
The aim of this update is to clarify the rights and responsibilities of investors and improve the grievance redressal mechanism.
SEBI has also announced the launch of SCORES 2.0 and SMART Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) to enhance the handling of investor complaints with SEBI-registered intermediaries and regulated entities.
The revised charter includes a list of Do's and Don'ts for investors, demonstrating SEBI's commitment to safeguarding investor interests in the securities market.
