SEBI Launches ‘Verified App Label’ Initiative To Strengthen Investor Protection
In March 2026, Tuhin Kanta Pandey, Chairperson of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), launched the ‘Verified Application(app) Label’ Initiative to protect investors against fraudulent mobile applications and ensure safe digital investing in India.
About ‘Verified App Label’ Initiative:
Approach: Over 1.3 lakh fraudulent investment apps, including 66 fake trading apps, have been reported and removed, prompting SEBI to build preventive safeguards under the principle: “First verify. Then invest.”
Mechanism: Apps of SEBI-registered intermediaries will display a verified badge on the Google Play Store to help investors easily identify genuine apps and reduce impersonation risks.
Partner with Google: The SEBI partnered with Google to monitor financial influencers (Finfluencers) who violate market regulations, aiming to strengthen the digital investment ecosystem and protect investors.
