SEBI Launches Three New IT Platforms

4. SEBI Launches Three New IT Platforms

Context:

In March 2026, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) introduced three specialized IT platforms designed to modernize the regulatory landscape. These initiatives, launched under the leadership of Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey, focus on transparency, speed, and advanced security oversight.

SEBI’s New Regulatory Technology (RegTech) Suite

The three platforms address distinct operational challenges within the Indian capital markets:

1. SUPCOMS 2.1 (Single Universal Platform for Communications)

This platform marks a major shift in how SEBI interacts with regulated entities.

• The Shift: It moves away from fragmented, traditional email-based communication.
• The Benefit: All interactions—queries, submissions, and responses—are centrally tracked and accessible. This ensures a “single version of truth” and significantly improves the ease of doing business by reducing lost communications.

2. e-Adjudication Portal

This portal digitizes the quasi-judicial arm of SEBI, which handles legal disputes and enforcement actions.

• Paperless Proceedings: The entire lifecycle of an adjudication matter—from the issuance of notices to the final order—is managed digitally.
• Efficiency: It eliminates physical paperwork, allowing for faster hearings and more transparent tracking of legal cases for the involved parties.

3. Cyber-Sec Audit Compliance (C-SAC)

Recognizing the growing threat of cyber-attacks on financial infrastructure, SEBI launched this AI-powered oversight tool.

• Automated Analysis: Instead of manual reviews, C-SAC uses Artificial Intelligence to scan cyber audit reports submitted by stock exchanges, depositories, and other entities.
• Actionable Insights: It automatically flags compliance gaps and potential risk areas, allowing SEBI to intervene before a security vulnerability can be exploited.
