India’s Digital Market Protection
Coverage from Business Standard, Whalesbook, and others
India’s digital-market protection efforts bring together securities oversight and broader consumer safeguards.
SEBI Check, verified UPI identifiers, approved broker-app lists, and AI systems such as R(AI)DAR and Sudarshan are intended to help investors distinguish legitimate intermediaries from scams, misleading advertisements, and cloned platforms. The wider picture also includes dark patterns, hidden fees, unwanted subscriptions, and the use of personal or financial data in digital commerce. These measures reflect the challenge of protecting a large retail-investor and online-consumer base while making verification, complaints, and enforcement more effective.
