price sensitive information, cannot take advantage and benefit by trading in public
listed shares.
Considering instances of multiple violations of Insider trading regulations by
Insiders holding confidential information, availability of unpublished price
sensitive information (UPSI) on various private platforms including WhatsApp
chats, SEBI further tightens Insider Trading regulations by bringing in SEBI
(Prohibition of Insider Trading) (Amendment) Regulations, 2018.
