Finance Ministry tweaks rules to enhance ease of doing business for stock exchange brokers

The Department of Economic Affairs amended Rule 8 of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules, 1957, to enhance ease of doing business for brokers.
The Finance Ministry of India has introduced amendments to the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules, 1957, aimed at enhancing the ease of doing business for stock brokers. These changes, effective immediately, include the elimination of the requirement for stock brokers to submit audited annual returns to stock exchanges, thereby reducing compliance burdens.

These modifications are part of broader efforts to streamline regulations and foster a more conducive environment for financial market participants.
