The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has exempted brokers with less than 10,000 registered clients from complying with the technical irregularities framework.

This move will mean that 60% of stock brokers will be kept away from this framework.

“The revised framework provides for certain exemptions from the requirement of compliance with irregularities and irregularities occurring outside the trading architecture of stock brokers, which do not directly impact trading functionality and whose impact is negligible, have been exempted from the technical irregularities framework,” the capital markets regulator said in a statement.

Additionally, the revised framework has also increased the time for reporting irregularities from one hour to two hours.

Brokers who fall under the amended regulation can also report on a common platform.
