WHAT WE DO
THE FRAMEWORK
Capital market law and practice in India is governed by a complex framework of laws, regulations, and guidelines that are enforced by various regulatory bodies. The key legislation governing capital markets in India is the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 (SEBI Act), which establishes the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) as the primary regulator of securities markets in the country. SEBI is responsible for regulating the securities markets in India, including regulating stock exchanges, intermediaries such as brokers and merchant bankers, and issuers of securities. SEBI also oversees the registration and regulation of mutual funds, portfolio managers, and other market intermediaries.
The key securities laws in India include the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956, the Companies Act, 2013, and the Depositories Act, 1996. These laws provide for the regulation of securities trading, the registration and disclosure requirements for companies issuing securities, and the regulation of depositories and depository participants.
