The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) issued a landmark circular on July 31, 2025, mandating all regulated entities to ensure digital accessibility compliance under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, 2016.

The first deadline is now around the corner:

  • By 31st August 2025 – All AMCs, brokerages, stockbrokers, depositories, and other intermediaries must submit a list of investor-facing platforms (websites, portals, mobile apps, e-KYC/video KYC flows, investor documents) along with an initial compliance/action-taken statement.

What This Means for You

  • Every investor-facing website, mobile app, and digital communication must be aligned with WCAG 2.1, GIGW, IS 17802, and RPwD Act standards.

  • Firms must prepare audit-ready evidence (accessible PDFs, ISL videos, alt-text, PwD-friendly grievance channels).

  • SEBI will require IAAP-certified audit validation within 3 months and remediation proof within 6 months.
