Marketopedia / Basics of Stock Market / SEBI What is Securities and Exchange Board of India

The Securities and Exchange Board of India, commonly referred to as SEBI, is a share market regulator in India. Its objective is to foster growth in the exchanges, preserve the rights of individual investors, and oversee the activities of financial intermediaries and other participants. Primarily SEBI safeguards:

  • Participants don’t get involved in unfair practices 
  • Corporates don’t use the markets to benefit themselves (Satyam Computers) unduly 
  • Small investors’ interests are protected 
  • Large investors with mega cash piles should not manipulate the markets Overall development of markets

Considering the above, it is essential for SEBI to oversee all entities involved in the market. From brokers to mutual funds and large companies, each will play a role in keeping our share markets balanced. 

Any inappropriate activities by any of the parties could have an adverse effect on India’s otherwise smooth-running exchange.
