Insider trading has always been an issue on the talk. SEBI’s move towards reformation of the extant Regulations is a significant step ensuring confidentiality in the operations and to provide a well governed legal system of the corporate sectors on one hand and to refrain any person from unfair trading in securities who has privilege of having access to unpublished information of any company.
