Explore the alleged stock rigging scandal at V-Marc India, uncovering manipulation tactics and market fraud schemes. Discover Sebi's historical struggles with fraud detection and modern surveillance tools for market integrity.
Sebi's investigative methods have evolved significantly over the years. Before the advent of digital systems like the DMAT account in 1996, investigation into stock market frauds was laborious and limited, with only 2-3 cases examined annually. With the digitalization of shares, the number of cases investigated skyrocketed, reaching 60 cases within a year. Sebi's establishment of a market surveillance system in the 1990s marked a pivotal moment, allowing for the detection of abnormal market movements and manipulations.
