It has been observed that fraudsters/unregistered persons have been perpetrating frauds in the securities market by way of misleading/ manipulative social media content. There is a need to distinguish social media contents uploaded by regulated entities on SMPs from the contents uploaded by other unregistered persons. It is important that content published do not contain anything which is prohibited under law or may harm investors interest. It is proposed to specify provisions for disclosure of registered name and registration number by SEBI regulated entities and their agents on Social Media Platforms. The comments/ feedback from stakeholders are invited.
