SEBI Unveils New Rules to Strengthen F&O Risk Management

SEBI Unveils New Rules to Strengthen F&O Risk Management

SEBI, the market regulator, is making changes to how people trade in the stock market's F&O (Futures & Options) segment to make it safer.

They're changing how they measure risk by using something called FutEq OI, which looks at how much prices could change.

They're also linking how much can be traded to how much money is actually being used in the market.

Also, limits on the money allowed for trading have been increased, but exchanges will monitor trading very closely.

There are also new rules for specific stocks and indexes to make sure the market stays fair and doesn't get too risky.

Overall, these changes aim to help investors and prevent market manipulation.
