SEBI investigated 122 stock brokers whose APIs were linked to algo platforms displaying strategies with guaranteed or consistent returns. Motilal Oswal Financial Services was one of the brokers identified, and the company chose to settle the matter under SEBI's Settlement Scheme on Association with Certain Algo Platforms, 2025. The company paid a settlement amount of Rs. 1,00,000 (Rs. 1 lakh) — notably, no penalty was levied. Under the Settlement Order dated March 17, 2026, SEBI agreed to close all pending proceedings against the company and not initiate any further action on these specific defaults. The company has confirmed it has already taken corrective steps and is no longer associated with such algo vendors.
The settlement amount is very small (Rs. 1 lakh) relative to the company's size, and the company has stated there is no material impact on its financials, operations, or other activities. This is largely a closure of a regulatory matter with negligible financial consequence, though it signals SEBI's broader crackdown on algo platforms promising assured returns.
