The document discusses the need for a regulatory body for investor protection in India called the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). It notes that India has an informationally weak capital market, and restoring investor confidence is needed following repeated scams. SEBI was established in 1988 as a non-statutory body and given statutory powers in 1992 through the SEBI Act to regulate and develop the capital market and protect investors. The objectives, powers, and functions of SEBI include registering and regulating intermediaries like stock brokers; prohibiting unfair trading like insider trading; and promoting investor education.
