Abstract

The securities market in India is regulated by the Securities and Exchange Board of India constituted under the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992. The Board has to protect interests of investors and promote and regulate the securities market. Recently, the Parliament of India has passed the Securities Laws (Amendment) Act, 2014, in order to give more powers to the Board for calling for information for any person including banks or any other authority, calling for information from any outside authority and search and seizure. It can regulate any Ponzi or money collecting scheme, access call data records of people involved in such illicit schemes and arrest defaulters. The Act has also allowed for setting up special courts to fast track the investigation and prosecution in matters relating to securities market. The case of Sahara Group companies and NSEL is the most important case, which has made headlines worldwide. The present chapter will give an overview of securities market in India to the readers. It will give an insight into trends in the primary and secondary market, different issues in securities market in India and their regulation including recent scams and investigations undertaken by SEBI.

Report of the Committee on reallocation of shares in the matter of IPO irregularities, http://​www.​sebi.​gov.​in/​cms/​sebi_​data/​attachdocs/​1289366396898.​pdf. The committee identified 12.75 lakh persons as eligible investors for distribution of disgorged money due to no allocation of shares to them. Rs. 23.28 crore to 12.75 lakh investors was allocated in April 2010, out of which 7.99 lakh investors were paid the full eligible amounts. SEBI in second tranche distributed funds to those investors to whom partial amount was paid earlier and are entitled to receive additional amounts. SEBI is continuing its recovery process by identifying assets of the defaulters for recovering and distributing the same to the remaining investors.
