About Insider Trading

What is insider trading?

Insider trading, also known as insider dealing, is the malpractice of selling or buying securities such as equity and bonds by the insiders of a company, which includes the employees, directors, executives and promoters.

To prevent such acts and to promote fair trading in the market for the interest of common investors, the stock market regulator Sebi (the Securities and Exchange Board of India) has prohibited the firms to purchase their own shares from the secondary market.

Insider trading is one of the most serious malpractices that exists in the market.

Insider trading basically refers to the buying, selling or trading of shares
