Over the years, thousands of unscrupulous entities have defrauded the investors or have broken the economic laws of the land. The practice continues.

Investors have lost confidence in the market consequent to a series of mishaps.

In many cases, though penal regulatory action has been taken against such entities, the information about such actions lies scattered and is in a difficult-to-access, difficult-to-use format.

Defaulters keep reappearing to harm the investors again, often with changed company names or by floating new companies/ schemes, encouraged as they are by inadequate deterrents.

Unregistered and indicted intermediaries abound, and investors suffer at their hands.

Regulatory action is reactive and rarely compensates the investors.

NRIs are a further disadvantaged lot, far as they are from the market and the regulators.

On the whole, investors feel cheated and helpless, and have become over-cautious. As a result, the capital market and the economy are suffering.

The best defense against frauds is self-defense.
