On 24th July 2023, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) notified SEBI (Stock Brokers) (Second Amendment) Regulations, 2023. This amendment primarily focused on the procedural aspects of registration, regulation 10A, and aimed to streamline the process.

The amendment includes significant changes in the SEBI Stock Brokers Regulations. The most notable adjustment is in regulation 10A, with changes to the existing proviso and the introduction of a new proviso that clarifies that no separate registration is needed for any person registered with the limited purpose clearing corporation participating in the tri-party repo segment for proprietary trades in corporate bonds. The amendment also brings about additional explanations for better understanding of the regulations. Notably, it introduces a new definition for “participant,” aligning it with the stipulations under the Repurchase Transactions (Repo) (Reserve Bank) Directions, 2018.
