From 1 November 2026, SEBI’s Project Jagrook mandates stock brokers to display investor risk warnings on websites and trading apps on alternate days.
New Investor Disclosure Norms Under Project Jagrook
Commencing 1 November 2026, SEBI’s Project Jagrook requires stock brokers to implement standardized investor awareness messages on their websites and trading applications. The messages must appear on the landing page and be displayed on alternate days across the platform to reinforce risk communication.
Messages will cover key investor risks such as market volatility, leverage trading, mis-selling, and exposure to unregulated products. Brokers must ensure that disclosures are prominent, non-dismissible, and accessible across all user devices. SEBI has provided a prescribed message library, and deviations are not permitted without prior approval.
Compliance will be monitored through inspection and self-certification mechanisms. Legal teams must work with technology and compliance departments to audit current interfaces and ensure timely deployment of these disclosures within the mandated framework.
