‘Aim is to help empower investors’
The Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is now examining, in consultation with regulated entities, the possibility of introducing alternate dispute resolution mechanism in various agreements (wherever possible) between the regulated entities and their clients.
The regulator had published ‘Investor Charter’ for the securities market last year besides announcing several other steps towards empowerment of investors,
“This is with a view to providing efficacious mechanism for resolving disputes between the investors and the regulated entities,” SEBI said in a statement on Monday.
