SEBI issues an updated master circular consolidating registration, supervision, client protections, tech resilience and QSB obligations for stock brokers.

It prescribes unified rules on registration (including single registration), risk-based supervision and inspections, internal and system audit norms, client-facing requirements (KYC, Unique Client Code, running account settlement, prohibition of cash), technology and cyber-resilience obligations, an Early Warning Mechanism for diversion of client securities, and an enhanced regime for designation and obligations of Qualified Stock Brokers.
