The Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 (Act No. 15 of 1992) is the parliamentary statute that constituted the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) as a statutory regulatory authority for the Indian securities market. Enacted on 4 April 1992 and brought into force with retrospective effect from 30 January 1992, the Act replaced the executive notification regime under which SEBI had operated since 12 April 1988 and conferred on the Board a tripartite mandate: to protect the interests of investors in securities, to promote the development of the securities market, and to regulate the securities market. The statute contains 35 substantive sections across seven chapters, together with later amendments that have progressively widened the Board’s investigative, adjudicatory, and recovery powers.
