SEBI Mandates Investor Awareness Messages on Broker Platforms

October 5, 2026

From November 1, 2026, SEBI mandates all stockbrokers to display investor awareness messages and risk disclosures on websites and trading apps under Project Jagrook.

Broadcasting Investor Awareness via Trading Platforms

Effective November 1, 2026, SEBI requires all registered stock brokers to display prominent investor awareness messages and risk disclosures on their websites and mobile trading applications. The mandate is part of 'Project Jagrook', aimed at enhancing retail investor education and decision-making.

The messages must cover key risks such as market volatility, leverage trading, derivatives exposure, and the importance of KYC compliance. SEBI has specified standard formats and display frequencies to ensure uniformity across platforms.

This regulatory push shifts investor education from periodic campaigns to continuous visibility at the point of transaction. Corporate and securities lawyers should advise broker-clients on compliance frameworks, including audit trails and update protocols, to mitigate regulatory risk.
