<h1>Revised 2026 rules for stock brokers and clearing members: new registration, control-change approvals, cyber and client-asset safeguards</h1> SEBI notifies the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Stock Brokers) Regulations, 2026, establishing a revised framework for registration and regulation of stock brokers and clearing members, including eligibility conditions, certificate terms, surrender process, and approval requirements for change in control, with operation from publication in the Official Gazette. It clarifies that separate registration is not required for a registered stock broker to act as a clearing member (and vice versa) subject to relevant exchange/clearing corporation approval, and extends specified chapters to clearing members with necessary modifications. It prescribes core operational obligations, including maintenance of records for eight years, appointment of a compliance officer, client asset segregation, cyber resilience, grievance redressal enrolment, surveillance and reporting for fraud/market abuse, and a transaction-based and annual fee regime, minimum net worth and deposit requirements, while repealing the 1992 Regulations with savings for prior actions.
