Arihant IntellectSEBI-Compliant Research Analyst Website: The Complete Checklist (2026)
A SEBI Research Analyst’s website has to carry a specific set of disclosures — miss one and you’re non-compliant. This is the section-by-section checklist of what belongs on your site, and why.
01 Registration & BASL details
Display your SEBI registration number, the date of registration, your BASL (BSE Administration & Supervision Ltd) enlistment details, registered address and validity. This is the first thing an investor — or an inspection — looks for.
02 Investor Charter
Publish the SEBI Investor Charter for Research Analysts: your vision, services, investor rights, the do’s and don’ts, and grievance-redressal timelines. It should be easy to find, not buried.
03 Complaints / grievance data table
SEBI expects the monthly complaints data to be shown on your website — number received, resolved, pending, and carried forward — and kept current, typically by the 7th of each month.
- ✓ Displayed on your own domain, not hidden behind an external link.
- ✓ In a readable table (also accessible to screen readers).
- ✓ Updated on schedule, every month.
04 Standard disclaimers
Every page should carry the standard Research Analyst disclaimer — that registration does not guarantee performance or returns, and that investments are subject to market risk. Disclaimers must be readable (mind the colour contrast).
05 Advertising-code compliance
All content — including testimonials, performance claims and calls-to-action — must follow SEBI’s advertisement code for Research Analysts. No misleading claims, no guaranteed returns, no cherry-picked track records.
06 Most Important Terms & Conditions (MITC)
Where applicable, surface the MITC so clients understand the terms of engagement before they sign up.
07 Contact & grievance officer
Clear contact details, the grievance/compliance officer’s name and contact, and links to SCORES and the SmartODR platform for escalation.
08 Accessibility (WCAG 2.2)
Your website must be usable by people with disabilities. See our full guide: SEBI website accessibility compliance. In short: contrast, keyboard navigation, alt text, labels and an accessibility toolbar.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Linking the complaints table to an external Google Sheet instead of hosting it on your domain.
- Letting the monthly complaints data go stale.
- Low-contrast disclaimers that fail accessibility checks.
- Missing disclaimers on inner pages (they belong on every page).
