Sebi Circulars

Sebi Circulars

At Sapling Financials, we are committed to transparency and regulatory compliance. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) issues circulars periodically to regulate and guide market participants, protect investor interests, and streamline financial market operations. These circulars are published on the SEBI website under “Legal → Circulars.”

Below is a summary of key SEBI circulars and regulatory updates relevant to investors and financial service firms.

1. SEBI Master Circular for Investment Advisers : SEBI released a Master Circular for Investment Advisers that consolidates all relevant circulars issued up to May 15, 2024. This circular provides a comprehensive reference for investment adviser compliance requirements, including conduct standards and disclosures.

2. Investor Education and Awareness Initiatives : SEBI issued a circular dated 20 February 2025 emphasizing investor education and awareness. Asset Management Companies (AMCs) must allocate a portion of daily net assets within cost limits for investor education programs, including financial inclusion initiatives approved by SEBI.

3. Regulatory Clarifications for Digital Content and Advice : SEBI has clarified (draft circular) that regulated entities may engage in providing general investor education — but must avoid giving specific investment advice, performance claims, or using recent market data as “educational” content.

4. SEBI Circulars and Operational Notices :

SEBI circulars cover a wide range of topics including:

  • Regulatory timelines and compliance for market infrastructure participants
  • Operational changes affecting settlement cycles, margin rules, or market practices
  • Clarifications in trading and investor protection regimes (e.g., trading windows, insider trading guidelines)
