Gauhati, Bhubaneshwar, Magadh & Madhya Pradesh and to Rs. 50,000/- in case of other stock exchanges.

ii) The major stock exchanges will set up Investor Information Centres to provide information about the rights and obligations of investors as well as about the listed companies on the stock exchanges.

iii) The exchanges will speed-up their arbitration mechanism and will try to make redressal of complaints at the administration level rather than pushing most cases towards time consuming arbitration mechanism.
