NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's markets regulator is seeking broader powers from the government to remove unauthorised financial advice from social media platforms such as WhatsApp and Telegram, and to access their call records for investigations into market violations, a government source and a document reviewed by Reuters showed.
This is the second time since 2022 that the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has sought such powers, with approval from the government still pending.
