SEBI Issues Advisory Against Trading Unlisted Securities on Unauthorized Platforms
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has issued a renewed advisory warning investors against trading unlisted securities of public limited companies on unauthorized electronic platforms and websites.

SEBI emphasized that only recognized stock exchanges are authorized to facilitate fundraising and securities trading, urging the public to avoid sharing sensitive personal information on such unauthorized sites.
