SEBI's Response to F&O Trading Losses

A significant concern has arisen regarding the high number of retail investors trading in Futures and Options (F&O), with a startling 85% incurring losses last fiscal year. In light of this, SEBI has formed a committee to formulate strategies aimed at reducing speculative trading. Proposed changes include limiting weekly options contracts to major benchmarks like NIFTY and SENSEX, discontinuing certain margin benefits on the expiry day, and increasing the contract sizes substantially. These measures reflect SEBI's determination to create a more stable trading environment and protect inexperienced investors from potential losses in a volatile market.
