SEBI Algo Trading Rules Are Live: A Retail Trader's Guide

SEBI's retail algo trading framework became fully mandatory for all brokers from April 1, 2026.

Cross 10 orders per second on a broker API and your activity is treated as algo trading.

Every algo must be registered with the exchange and carry a unique Algo-ID for traceability.

Your broker is the accountability node — third-party algo vendors must route through a registered broker.

You must whitelist a static IP; orders from any other IP are rejected.
