Regulatory news, updates, and insights for India presented by the Carver Agents team

Welcome to Carver's India Regulatory Updates for March 15, 2026.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India, or S-E-B-I, has launched the Young Professional Program to strengthen regulatory capacity and market development. This initiative engages 91 young professionals across five domains with clearly defined eligibility criteria, terms of engagement, and a code of conduct. Candidates must be Indian citizens under 30 years of age as of the publication date, meeting domain-specific educational qualifications and work experience requirements. The engagement duration is one year, extendable up to three years based on performance, with a monthly stipend of 70,000 Indian Rupees and specified leave and working conditions. This program represents a significant step in building expertise within S-E-B-I and enhancing regulatory effectiveness.

In related developments, S-E-B-I has issued multiple circulars, orders, mutual fund filings, recovery proceedings, and public notices throughout March 2026. These regulatory activities reflect ongoing enforcement actions and compliance requirements impacting market participants. Stakeholders must comply with all published circulars and orders, respond promptly to recovery proceedings and notices, and stay informed on mutual fund schemes and public issue filings. Additionally, S-E-B-I continues to oversee corporatisation and demutualisation schemes, with several circulars, orders, press releases, and recovery proceedings issued this month. Market participants are required to adhere to these directives to maintain market integrity and investor confidence.

The Bombay Stock Exchange has issued a public advisory warning investors about a fraudulent deepfake video scam circulating in the market. This malicious video, created using artificial intelligence technology, poses risks of financial harm and misinformation. Investors and stakeholders are urged to rely solely on official Bombay Stock Exchange channels for information and to exercise increased vigilance against AI-generated fraudulent content.

Lastly, S-E-B-I has relaxed certification requirements for Persons Associated with Research Services, specifically in sales and other non-core services. Applications are invited for engagement of young professionals across multiple domains, with eligibility criteria including age, nationality, educational qualifications, and work experience. The engagement duration and stipend conditions mirror those of the Young Professional Program, supporting capacity building within the regulatory framework.
