Combined SEBI Measures Aim to Shield Investors from Fraud and Risk

Mumbai, Oct 3 — SEBI’s twin interventions this week target two persistent challenges in the Indian capital market. First, the DNVS upgrade, live since September 2026, adds a mandatory subject‑line check to the existing outward‑number verification, thwarting scams that recycle genuine numbers on fake SEBI notice letters. Second, the ‘Project Jaagrook’ rollout compels brokers to embed clear, rotating awareness and risk‑disclosure alerts on their digital portals. The phased approach—website‑only alerts initially, followed by mandatory app displays—ensures a smooth transition while keeping investors informed about both fraudulent document risks and market volatility.
