The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has issued a warning to investors, advising them to exercise caution regarding live trading strategies and real-time stock market tips disseminated through social media channels. SEBI emphasizes the importance of relying only on registered intermediaries to safeguard investor interests.
