Capital markets regulator Sebi is working on framing a charter for investors in the securities market, which is aimed at bringing more transparency in the investment process.
The charter will focus on the rights and responsibilities of investors and also the investor grievance redressal mechanism. "Efforts are on to frame the investor charter, as announced in the Union Budget 2021-22," Sebi chairman Ajay Tyagi said in the regulator's annual report 2020-21.
It has been proposed to have a charter for Sebi and separate charters for entities regulated by the markets regulator, the report noted.
Also, it has been proposed to prescribe timelines for various investor-related activities in the charter, it added.
The investor charter will not only help to bring in more transparency in the investment process but also encourage investors in the market to invest with better knowledge, the report noted.
With an objective to provide protection to investors, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the Union Budget 2021-22 had proposed to introduce an investor charter as a right of all financial investors across all financial products.
