SEBI Settlement Regulations 2026: New formula, ₹10 lakh fast-track, and other key changes investors must know

What happened: SEBI introduced the Settlement Regulations, 2026, revising how settlement amounts are calculated, adding fast-track routes, and separating disgorgement of wrongful gains from the base settlement amount. Key numbers: Fast-track settlement applies where the settlement amount does not exceed ₹10 lakh. Why it matters: SEBI aims to make settlements more consistent and predictable, with separate disgorgement and remedial terms, so paying an amount does not close a case without corrective action.
