SEBI to make brokers show investor warnings in trading apps from 1 November
A new closing auction session for end-of-day prices is also being finalised.
Under SEBI's "Project Jagrook", stockbrokers will have to display investor awareness messages on their websites and mobile trading apps from 1 November 2026. The aim is to improve financial literacy and cut losses from speculative trading.
SEBI is also finalising a closing auction session meant to set fairer end-of-day prices and reduce late-session swings. It received more than 3,500 public comments on the proposal.
The backdrop: foreign portfolio investors have pulled more than ₹1.5 lakh crore out of Indian equities so far in 2026.
Why it mattersIf you trade on an app, expect new warning screens soon. A closing auction would change how the final price of a stock is set each day, which matters for anyone who trades near 3:30 PM.
