SEBI proposes changes to curb derivatives speculation
The Business Guardian
|August 01, 2024
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has proposed several measures to mitigate the “hyperactivity” in India’s derivatives market, following concerns over substantial trading losses among retail investors.
-
These suggestions, detailed in a consultation paper, include increasing the minimum contract size for futures and options, limiting weekly index options, and mandating upfront premium collection on options.
SEBI’s paper revealed that the cumulative losses from trading in index derivatives amounted to over Rs 51,000 crore in 2023-24. This figure does not account for transaction costs and highlights that nine out of every ten traders in derivatives experienced losses. SEBI and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) have previously expressed concerns over heightened activity in the derivatives market. The government has also raised the securities transaction tax (STT) on such trades in the 2024 Budget to curb speculative activity.
