ABSTRACT
The Indian securities market (‘Market’), with its rapid digitalisation and escalating number of trading platforms, has become a dynamic place for both domestic and foreign investors. However, the widespread adoption of mobile based trading applications with technology increasingly becoming the medium for executing trades and managing trading and demats accounts, concerns about cyber threats, unauthorised transactions, identity theft have become pressing concerns and illegal activities have surged. There has been increased exploitation of loopholes affecting significant financial losses for the investors. In order to overcome these difficulties the market regulator, Securities and Exchange Board of India (‘SEBI’) has recently published a consultation paper. In an era where digital security is paramount, this article analyses the proposed measures stated in the consultation paper and offers insights into how they might enhance investor safety and strengthen the overall trading environment.
