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.
