ABSTRACT
Protecting investors is essential to a healthy financial market because it promotes transparency, equity, and trust amongst investors. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Act, 1992, the Companies Act, 2013, and other regulations published by SEBI, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), and other financial regulators largely control India's legislative framework for investor protection. Government regulations exist to protect investors from several misconducts including inside trading and market manipulation and fraud and corporate violation.
The article investigates the regulatory domains of India. The review includes assessment of its legal frameworks regarding investor defense strategies. The investors possess several vital legal claims under SEBI Act and corporate regulation laws within the Companies Act and banking rules which they should utilize to defend their investment interests. The article functions for investor protection laws but also takes into consideration SAT decisions together with Indian court rulings.
The research found that India maintains robust regulatory structures to protect investors as an essential part however it highlighted persistent issues regarding the enforcement of laws and investor education needs improvement. The corporate scandals triggered by market-related misconduct had negative stability impacts but simultaneously reshaped investor attitudes toward Indian capital markets through fewer business misconduct events and better economic learning with regulatory system technology applications.
