The read
Censure. That's the word. Reliance Securities, now IndusInd Securities, got a formal reprimand from SEBI. The regulator found compliance flaws during a joint inspection covering 20 months of broker operations from April 2021 to November 2022. The broker first applied for a settlement, then withdrew and decided to contest the findings through written replies and a personal hearing. The Designated Authority recommended censure; SEBI agreed. The message is clear: compliance failures earn a black mark even without proven market harm. No fine, no suspension. Impact contained.
