The move is part of the market regulator’s effort to frame regulatory provisions that show different aspects of the market and their effect on investors.
Results from the study will be used to draft policies that align with the existing market scenarios.
In a statement, SEBI said: “The policies as always would seek to balance the need for facilitating financial inclusion, encouraging new participants, leveraging economies of scale, encouraging adoption of technology, discouraging cross-subsidisation across schemes, closing arbitrage opportunities if any, and curbing malpractices if any.”
Besides, SEBI plans to discuss the data from the study with stakeholders and public as per the usual procedure, if required.
