<h1>SEBI Issues New Rules to Prevent Unauthorized Securities Transfers; Enhances Investor Education on Secure Handling of DIS.</h1> The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) issued a circular addressing investor concerns regarding unauthorized transfers of securities in dematerialized form. SEBI mandates depositories to enhance investor education on the secure handling of Delivery Instruction Slips (DIS) and prohibits Depository Participants (DPs) from accepting pre-signed DIS with blank columns. DPs must issue DIS booklets with limited slips and require notification for lost booklets. New booklets are issued only after significant usage of the previous ones. Additional safeguards include signature verification, cross-checking under exceptional circumstances, and mandatory verification for inactive accounts. Depositories must amend regulations, inform DPs, and report compliance to SEBI.
