**Summary:**
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), in collaboration with stock exchanges, is introducing the "Samuhik Prativedan Manch," a technology-based common reporting mechanism offered by the National Stock Exchange (NSE) for stock brokers. This initiative aims to streamline compliance reporting and reduce the cost of doing business for intermediaries. Effective August 1, 2025, stock brokers registered with multiple exchanges can submit 40 compliance reports through the Samuhik Prativedan Manch at one exchange instead of multiple exchanges. This phased implementation is expected to benefit approximately 990 stock brokers who hold multiple memberships with NSE and other stock exchanges. Future phases will standardize and centralize the remaining document submissions across all brokers, including commodity brokers.

Samuhik Prativedan Manch for Stock Brokers
SEBI encourages a regulatory framework that is simple, transparent, and cost-effective
resulting in ease of doing business for the intermediaries and in turn ease of doing
investments for investors. Streamlining and rationalising the compliance reporting is a key
measure for achieving ease of doing business.
Towards this end, SEBI and Stock exchanges have now introduced a technology based
common reporting mechanism (Samuhik Prativedan Manch) offered by NSE for stock
brokers to submit their compliance reports. Stock brokers who are registered with multiple
stock exchanges are currently required to submit compliance reports at all the Exchanges
with which they are registered. They will now be able to submit compliance reports to the
Samuhik Prativedan Manch at one exchange instead of multiple exchanges.
The Samuhik Prativedan Manch will eliminate the requirement to submit compliance
reports to multiple exchanges where a stock broker is registered. This is expected to
substantially reduce stock brokers' compliance costs. The mechanism would be
implemented in a phased manner with submission of 40 compliance reports in the first
phase being implemented under Samuhik Prativedan Manch with effect from August 01,
2025. As a result, close to a thousand stock brokers (approximately 990) who have multiple
membership with NSE and other stock exchanges would benefit from this initiative.

including Commodity brokers.
