Security market regulator, Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is mulling to set up an independent self-regulatory organization (SRO) for stock exchanges, though the regulator prefers to keep the day-to-day trading regulations and surveillance actions with bourses themselves. It’s of the view that an independent SRO could take over member regulation functions of stock exchanges in the long run.
As per the present regulatory framework, the stock exchanges act as the frontline regulators for the market while, the SEBI is the ultimate oversight and regulatory authority. The SEBI’s board has already approved a proposal for providing the seed fund for setting up the SRO, whenever deemed appropriate. However, it is also looking at ways to minimise any possible conflict of interest in the regulatory and business interests and a dual-reporting structure could be introduced to tackle conflict of interest.
The head of regulatory department would report to the MD or CEO of the bourse, as well as to an independent committee of the exchange’s board.
