What happened

SEBI (Securities and Exchange Board of India — the regulator that oversees your stock market investments) has introduced an IT Resilience Index for Market Infrastructure Institutions (MIIs). MIIs are critical bodies like stock exchanges, clearing corporations, and depositories that handle your trades and hold your shares. This index will measure how well their computer systems can handle disruptions, cyberattacks, or technical failures.

Why it matters

Indian investors depend on these institutions every time they buy or sell shares or mutual funds. If their IT systems fail, trades get stuck and money can be at risk. SEBI is trying to make these systems more reliable by tracking and publishing their resilience scores, which may push these institutions to improve their technology standards.

What to check

  • →Check whether SEBI publishes these resilience scores publicly, so you can see how your exchange or depository performs
  • →Look at any future SEBI circulars that explain what a low or high resilience score means for investors
  • →Find out whether your broker or trading platform is connected to institutions with strong IT resilience ratings
  • →Ask your broker how technical outages on stock exchanges are handled and whether your pending orders are protected
  • →Consider reviewing SEBI's official website sebi.gov.in for the full circular and scoring methodology
