The Securities Markets Code, 2025 seeks to modernise India’s capital market regulation by consolidating the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956, the SEBI Act, 1992, and the Depositories Act, 1996 into a single, principle-based framework. The Code strengthens the regulatory role of Securities and Exchange Board of India, decriminalises minor procedural violations, enhances investor protection through a statutory Investor Charter and Ombudsperson, and improves oversight of market infrastructure institutions. By reducing regulatory fragmentation and aligning with global best practices, the Code aims to boost investor confidence, ease compliance, deepen capital markets, and support India’s long-term economic growth.
