SEBI proposed a uniform 30-day lag on sharing and using stock price data to ensure investor education remains informative without turning into investment advice. The move addresses concerns that very recent data could be misused, while excessively old data reduces educational value. By standardising the time lag, SEBI aims to strike a balance between data protection and relevance of learning material. The proposal also helps clearly distinguish education from advisory or research activities, which require stricter regulatory compliance. As India’s securities market regulator, SEBI plays a crucial role in protecting investors, ensuring transparency, and maintaining fairness in capital markets.
