What happened

SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India — the regulator that oversees stock markets and investment platforms) has extended the deadline for complying with its Digital Accessibility Circulars. This means companies and platforms regulated by SEBI now have more time to make their digital services accessible. The earlier compliance deadlines have been pushed to a later date.

Why it matters

Digital Accessibility rules require investment platforms, brokers, and financial websites to be usable by people with disabilities — such as those who rely on screen readers or special input devices. Extending the timeline gives regulated entities more time to upgrade their systems. This is part of a broader effort to make financial services inclusive for all citizens.

What to check

  • →Check whether your investment platform or broker has announced any changes to its app or website accessibility features.
  • →Find out if the platforms you use for trading or investing have communicated new timelines for accessibility upgrades.
  • →Ask your broker or mutual fund platform how this extension affects their digital service improvements.
  • →Look at SEBI's official website (sebi.gov.in) for the exact new compliance dates, as the published content does not mention specific dates.
  • →Consider whether the platforms you use are planning accessibility improvements that may temporarily affect how the app or website works.
