Understanding SEBI and RBI's Roles in Financial Crime Prevention

A ground-up guide to how India's two main financial regulators prevent, detect and punish financial crime. Start with the map: what counts as financial crime, why SEBI and RBI have very different mandates, and where agencies such as the ED, FIU-IND, SFIO and CBI fit in. Then go inside SEBI's fight against market crime: insider trading, manipulation and front running under the PIT and PFUTP Regulations, how exchange surveillance flags suspicious trades, and the orders, penalties and settlements SEBI uses once it finds them. Next, go inside RBI's rulebook for banking crime: how banks must classify and report frauds, early warning signals and red-flagged accounts, wilful defaulters, KYC obligations and the rules on digital payment fraud and customer liability. See both regulators at work in real Indian cases, then learn how to verify an entity's registration, where to report fraud, and what compliance and investigation careers look like.
