Want to Become a SEBI-Registered Stock Broker?
If you’re looking to enter India’s capital markets as a stock broker, obtaining a SEBI registration is a must. This license not only authorizes you to operate legally but also builds trust with clients and regulators. Here’s a clear breakdown of the process from eligibility to compliance.

You must meet SEBI’s basic eligibility norms:
-
Minimum age of 21 years
-
No history of financial fraud or legal disqualification

-
Equity Derivatives Certification (NISM Series VIII)
-
Compliance Officer Certification (NISM Series IIIA)

Any additional modules based on your target market segments
3. Getting Licensed & Registered
The registration process involves both infrastructure setup and regulatory approvals:
-
Establish your office, IT systems, and trained staff
-
Obtain membership from a recognized stock exchange like NSE or BSE
-
Submit Form A to SEBI via the exchange
-
Undergo SEBI’s review and verification
-
Receive your official Certificate of Registration
4. Your Duties After Registration

-
Maintain accurate accounting records
