Why not make a series on what compliance SEBI Registered Brokers have to do if they are Brokers of NSE & BSE.
Benefits of doing such a series:-
Regulatory Compliance
Helps investors with a clearer understanding of their broker’s compliance practices and offers better insight into market operations
Investor Protection
Helps Investor to understand fair practices and transparency.
Training and Development
Finance students will have the opportunity to learn about the operations of financial markets from the perspective of a market facilitator.
Oprational Efficiency
The broker community can establish Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure adherence to best practices, which helps avoid penalties and fines for both investors and brokers.
Oh man, that’s a lot of work! Brokers are busy complying with SEBI & Exchange regulations that there’s barely any time for creating any series
I’m tempted to share with you NSE’s Compliance Calendar that enlists most broker compliances with timelines.
There are NISM module on Securities operation and Risk management & Depositories operation which is a good starting point. Once someone’s assessed what interests them, they can delve deeper into it. Again, broker ops are so personal to each broking firm, I don’t think a one size fits all approach will work.
For clients, it’s fairly simple once the account is opened (with proper KYC), maintain adequate margins both in terms of funds and stocks; if one covers for this, there’s rarely any other occasion to get penalized. For brokers - I think SEBI and Exchanges have well defined rules, it’s usually black or white. Brokers tend to delve into regulatory grey which often ends up causing issues.
