Qualified Stock Broker obligations strengthened to mandate enhanced governance, risk controls, cybersecurity and investor service mechanisms. Designation of certain stock brokers as Qualified Stock Brokers (QSBs) triggers enhanced obligations: board-level oversight and dedicated committees, documented risk management policies covering KYC, operational, technology and outsourcing risks, surveillance of client behaviour, scalable IT capacity, and frameworks for orderly wind-down. QSBs must implement robust cybersecurity programs with dedicated security teams, regular VAPT and penetration testing, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery procedures, investor service centers and online complaint redressal, periodic CERT IN audits, and submit prescribed reports to stock exchanges for enhanced monitoring.
