Why Insider Trading Compliance Matters

Having a Policy Is Not Enough. People Must Understand It.

Insider trading compliance is not limited to preventing illegal trades. It also involves identifying unpublished price sensitive information (UPSI), controlling its communication, monitoring trading activity and maintaining appropriate records.

01

Awareness Gaps

Employees may unknowingly share sensitive information or misunderstand restrictions applicable to themselves and their immediate relatives.

02

Weak Internal Processes

Inadequate controls over UPSI, trading windows, pre-clearance and disclosures can create significant compliance exposure.

03

Documentation Gaps

Organisations need appropriate records, monitoring mechanisms and evidence of compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

Regulatory Exposure

The Cost of Non-Compliance Can Be Significant.

Insider trading violations may result in regulatory action, financial penalties and reputational consequences. Appropriate awareness and controls help organisations manage these risks.

SEBI Act, 1992 — Section 15G

₹10 Lakh to ₹25 Crore or More

For contraventions falling under Section 15G, the statutory penalty is not less than ₹10 lakh and may extend to ₹25 crore or three times the profits made from insider trading, whichever is higher. The actual outcome depends on the facts and applicable law.

Beyond Monetary Penalties

Regulatory Scrutiny, Business Disruption & Reputation

Violations or weaknesses in compliance systems may lead to investigation, directions, internal disciplinary measures, remediation expenses and reputational damage. Different breaches attract different legal consequences.

Regulatory reference: SEBI Act, 1992, Section 15G, and the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, as amended. This section provides general awareness information, not a prediction of penalties in any particular case.

Additional Compliance Support

Structured Digital Database (SDD)

Maintaining a Structured Digital Database is an important aspect of the applicable UPSI-sharing recordkeeping framework under the SEBI PIT Regulations.

We can discuss your organisation's SDD requirements, existing procedures and potential software or implementation support options.
