Securities and Exchange Board of India Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is a autonomous body created by the Government of India in 1988 and given statutory form in 1992 with the . Its head office is in Mumbai, and has regional offices in Chennai, Kolkata and Delhi. SEBI is the regulator of Securities markets in India. The new chairman of SEBI, Mr.C.B.Bave took charge on February 16 2008.
SEBI has three functions rolled into one body: quasi-legislative, quasi-judicial and quasi-executive. It drafts regulations in its legislative capacity, it conducts investigation and enforcement action in its executive function and it passes rulings and orders in its judicial capacity. Though this makes it very powerful, there is an appeals process to create accountability. There is a Securities Appellate Tribunal which is a three member tribunal and is presently headed by a former Chief Justice of a High court. A second appeal lies directly to the Supreme Court.
SEBI has had a mixed history in terms of its success as a regulator. Though it has pushed systemic reforms aggressively and successively (e.g. the quick movement towards making the markets electronic), it lacked the legal expertise, till recently, needed to sustain prosecutions/enforcement actions. SEBI has been active in setting up the rules and regulations as required as directed by the RBI or the Ministry of finance
