SEBI — Securities and Exchange Board of India

SEBI regulates Indian securities intermediaries, including stock brokers and depository participants. Currency derivatives offered by SEBI-registered brokers remain exchange-traded products subject to RBI foreign-exchange directions and exchange rules; SEBI registration is not an authorisation for offshore OTC forex or CFDs.
