SEBI Launches Project Jagrook for Investor Awareness
Effective 1 November 2026, SEBI’s Project Jagrook mandates stock brokers and trading platform operators to display standardized risk-related messages on their websites and mobile applications. These include prominent disclosures on the landing page and alternate-day pop-up alerts within trading apps to improve investor literacy and caution against speculative trading.
The prescribed content covers key risks such as market volatility, leverage in derivatives, margin requirements, and potential losses exceeding capital invested. Brokers must ensure these messages are not bypassable and are displayed in a legible format. SEBI has also specified recordkeeping obligations to demonstrate compliance during inspections.
Corporate legal teams must coordinate with compliance and technology departments to integrate these features into digital platforms. Non-compliance may result in regulatory censure under SEBI’s inspection and enforcement protocols. The initiative aligns with broader investor protection measures under LODR and the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act.
