Yeah, Investing kinds is allowed.

Unofficial rule for broker employees to not trade in fno from refulators. Also a HR rule as trading fno means active time should be dedicated thus may not able to concentrate on work.

I am told that similar rules apply for cnbc tv employees. Few months back one of the hindi business news channel host was sacked because he used to leak information and his family members were buying / selling based on his inputs. I think its sebi rules
