When you're learning to trade, safety should be your top priority. That's why understanding SEBI guidelines for paper trading platforms is crucial. At Zerroday, we're not just compliant – we're setting the gold standard for safe, educational trading platforms.

What is SEBI and Why Does It Matter?

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is India's regulatory authority for securities markets. Think of it as the guardian angel that protects investors and ensures fair, transparent trading practices.

Key SEBI Regulations for Paper Trading

  • Educational Purpose Only: Paper trading platforms must clearly state they're for learning, not real money trading
  • No Real Money Transactions: Users cannot deposit or withdraw real money
  • Transparent Pricing: All fees and charges must be clearly disclosed
  • Data Protection: User data must be protected according to Indian data protection laws
  • Regular Audits: Platforms must undergo regular compliance audits

Red Flags: What to Avoid

Not all paper trading platforms are created equal. Here are warning signs to watch out for:

⚠️ Red Flags to Watch For:

  • Asks for Real Money: Any platform asking for bank details or real money deposits
  • Unclear Terms: Vague or hidden terms and conditions
  • No Contact Information: Can't find company details or contact information
  • Promises of Profits: Claims you can make real money from paper trading
  • No Educational Focus: Focuses on entertainment rather than learning

How to Verify a Platform's Compliance

Before using any paper trading platform, ask these questions:

✅ Compliance Checklist:

  • Does the platform clearly state it's for educational purposes only?
  • Are the terms and conditions easily accessible and understandable?
  • Does the company provide clear contact information?
  • Is there a privacy policy that protects your data?
  • Does the platform have proper disclaimers about not being real trading?
  • Are there any hidden fees or charges?
