Sebi proposes tighter curbs on promotional claims by online bond platforms
SEBI has proposed stricter advertising norms for online bond platforms to safeguard retail investors from misleading promotional claims. The new rules require standardized disclosures for specific securities and mandate explicit risk disclaimers alongside terms like 'fixed returns'. Ambiguous phrases such as 'high yield' will face regulatory restrictions to prevent hasty investment decisions. This move strengthens investor protection in the growing digital bond market and reflects SEBI's proactive regulatory approach.
