MUMBAI – The Securities and Exchange Board of India has deferred the implementation of rules to facilitate participation of retail investors in algorithmic trades. The new set of rules, which were finalised by the regulator in February this year, will now come into effect from Oct. 1 instead of Aug. 1.
SEBI decided to defer implementation of the new rules on the requests of stock brokers and other representatives, who sought more time to implement provisions of the regulator's February circular.
In February, SEBI announced guidelines for all stakeholders, including stockbrokers, stock exchanges, and algo providers. These guidelines mentioned steps such as tagging algorithmic orders with unique identifiers, clearly specifying subscription charges, and testing all algos, among others.
According to the regulator's circular in February, brokers would act the principal for algo trading through application programming interface and algo providers such as fintechs or vendors would serve as agents. All the algo orders would be tagged with a unique identifier provided by stock exchanges. End
