The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is set to meet on September 30, with significant decisions likely for market players and intermediaries.
A key focus is strengthening the index derivatives framework. This new framework aims to curb risky trading behavior seen with daily expiries of index-derivative contracts. Proposed changes include shifting to weekly expiries, raising the minimum contract value to Rs 15-20 lakh initially, then Rs 20-30 lakh, and rationalizing strike prices.
