Hey @deba72, As a brokerage we have to comply with the SEBI regulations. That doesn't mean we wholeheartedly support each and every change in the ruleset. We have made our concerns heard and there is a process of dialogue through the industry bodies that need to make a presentation stating the disadvantages and how it can affect not just the brokers but also the government's revenues (STT, Stamp Duty, GST, Corporate Taxes) liquidity, impact cost, etc.
If it does happen, discount brokers will take a hit as volumes will go down but it will affect everyone else too. There may be a price war again which may cause collateral damage to the ecosystem. Hopefully, there will be a change of mind and they will revert the changes but as a broker, we have to comply with the regulations. Ultimately, we are just a link in the chain.
