Introduction:

In response to the recent regulatory changes by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Research Analysts and CA Firms now face the challenge of meeting new compliance requirements. These include the necessity to have a SEBI-compliant website, complete KYC (Know Your Customer) verification through DocuSign and NSDL, and integrate secure payment gateways like Razorpay.

Our company provides end-to-end solutions tailored to make this transition seamless. Here’s a look at how we helped our clients—Research Analysts and CA Firms—achieve full compliance with ease.


Challenge:

With the introduction of SEBI's new regulations, Research Analysts and CA Firms were under pressure to adapt quickly. The regulatory changes mandated that:

  1. All Research Analysts must have a fully functional, SEBI-compliant website.
  2. KYC must be completed via trusted platforms like DocuSign and NSDL.
  3. Payments for services should be processed via a recognized payment gateway like Razorpay.

These new regulations posed several challenges:

  • Website development needed to meet SEBI standards and include certain features like user authentication and secure data handling.
  • KYC process had to be automated, seamless, and compliant with SEBI’s stringent requirements.
  • Payment integration required ensuring the gateway was secure, compliant, and easy for clients to use.

Solution:

Our team helped multiple Research Analysts and CA Firms by providing a comprehensive, easy-to-implement solution. Here's how we addressed each challenge:

1. SEBI-Compliant Website Development:

We built custom websites for Research Analysts and CA Firms that adhered to the latest SEBI compliance guidelines. This included:

  • Secure user login and authentication processes.
  • Data privacy measures, ensuring client and user data remained protected.
  • Features such as blogs, publications, and compliance-related disclosures, all adhering to SEBI’s transparency standards.

2. Streamlined KYC Integration (DocuSign & NSDL):

KYC is an essential part of SEBI’s regulations, and our solution seamlessly integrated DocuSign and NSDL for smooth KYC processes:

  • DocuSign Integration: Clients could sign KYC documents digitally, making the process faster and more secure.
  • NSDL Integration: KYC data was automatically verified through NSDL’s secure database, ensuring compliance with SEBI guidelines.
  • Automated Workflow: The KYC process became fully automated, saving time for both clients and their customers.

3. Razorpay Payment Gateway Integration:

To comply with SEBI’s payment rules, we helped clients integrate Razorpay, a secure and trusted payment gateway:

  • Easy Payment Collection: Clients could easily accept payments online for their services.
  • Seamless Transactions: Integration ensured smooth transactions, providing clients with an uninterrupted user experience.
  • Security & Compliance: Razorpay ensured that all transactions were secure and compliant with financial regulations, including SEBI’s rules.

I love finding patterns and concluding insights out of it. After working as Employee, a Consultant, a Freelancer I figured out mostly we start our project or a module or microservice either by copying an existing code or base repositories from GitHub lets say. And then spend a lot of time on customising it, analysing pitfalls, making it work so that I can start writing business logic for the work. So, I started POC-ing FAB Builder so that I get a trailered project targetted to my requirements and on which I can start writing business logic within few mins. This makes my life easy and my clients get a better quality products which are easy to modify and easy to maintain.
