This exam if made madatory will likely only be little more than a simple questionnaire imo.
Mandatory exams for market traders will only create barriers without truly reducing risk. Markets should remain open to all, with education as a choice, not a restriction. Instead of limiting access, focus on better resources and awareness so traders can learn, adapt, and grow on their own terms.
There is nothing to worry about. SEBI can’t do anything as such most of whatever they are saying is against article 14 and article 301. All participants of stock market are equal and right to trade and commerce is there. A simple writ petition against SEBI in supreme court is enough. As such there are other arguments as people make loss in real estate as well but no steps are taken by govt.
The real issue here is why no retailers are filing writ petition and most importantly why zerodha is so silent.
TV experts are generally Registered TA who have to pass mandatory exam. Still I see them going wrong most of the time. So this exam will also likely be ineffective
Reading a book won’t teach you to swim. jumping in, flailing a bit, and learning from it will. SEBI’s exam feels like handing out life jackets to people who still don’t know how to paddle. It’s well-intentioned, but it’s not the solution.
Ban F&O for people with capital less than ₹5 crores and yearly income less than ₹50 lakhs.
Additionally, mandate underlying holdings to be eligible to place a F&O order.
If you have a XYZ stock, you can only hedge it using F&O.
If you have market ETF, then only you can trade index F&O.
Additionally, people making losses for 2 years straight trading in F&O, should be jailed or sent to work in the factories,
for atleast 6 months, for mis-utilizing national resources.
Not happening. That will dry up liquidity. Hedging also will not be feasible then…
It is you who should be jailed for posting rubbish 
Its not about being right or wrong. All cant be right anyway. The only thing that can be done is understanding the risk one is taking.
first let them setup state owned Traders Rehabilitation Institution for de-addiction and trauma repair.
Regulator is focused on prevention because it’s easy to blabber.
What are you bro? Not a retailer? I’m reminded of Gandhiji’s quote “An ounce of practice is worth more than tons of preaching.”
How is this misusing national resource? Its a zero sum game. One’s loss is other’s gain
@ANKIT_T It’s a very high level though process which only SEBI understands. National resources should work in factories so please don’t go into those maths. Please read the highlighted section. 
Which factory do you work in 
Sebi not in favour of entry barriers for investors in equity F&O segment.
Chill guys, nothing will happen 
That was satire right? 
FWIW, I think this move by SEBI is the right one 
. An online exam should be made mandatory, if someone can’t even put in the little effort to pass it they have no business trading FnO. 
The mood swings 
And I am in the 10% of the 10% and I trade FnO 
Ofc I also do what you do
