The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) will implement new Settlement of Administrative and Civil Proceedings Regulations on November 7, 2026. These regulations allow eligible entities to apply for settlement of specified securities law proceedings at any stage, subject to conditions and a non-refundable application fee of Rs 25,000 for individuals and Rs 35,000 for others. SEBI has introduced an online application system, a settlement amount calculator, FAQs, and a help desk to assist applicants. Applications must generally be filed within 90 days of show-cause notices, with exceptions for cases before appellate tribunals or courts.
