SEBI is set to curb misuse of proprietary trading terminals to prevent unauthorized rentals and violations within the industry.
Proprietary trading terminals will be required to register with unique identifiers like MAC and IP addresses to track their physical locations to avoid any unauthorized movement.
Brokers have been renting out terminals to professional traders to bypass client margin pay-out, leading to them being classified as 'proprietary trades' to avail benefits like tax avoidance.
SEBI aims to address these issues to ensure investor protection and market integrity, as unauthorized rentals and misuse can lead to potential investor complaints with inadequate documentation.
