SEBI Eases Call-Recording Rules for Research Analysts from November 8, 2026
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) will ease call-recording requirements for research analysts and entities interacting with institutional investors, effective November 8, 2026. While mandatory call recordings of such interactions are no longer required, research analysts must maintain records of all client interactions through legally verifiable means like emails, signed documents, or SMS. These records must be preserved for five years or longer if disputes arise or SEBI directs retention. The changes aim to reduce compliance burdens while ensuring documentation for client grievances.
