iSPOT: SEBI To Replace Email-Based Technical Glitch Reports for MIIs
As per SEBI’s latest circular, the mandatory use of iSPOT will take effect from February 3

The Securities and Exchange Board of India ( SEBI ) has introduced iSPOT, a web-based portal designed for stock exchanges and market infrastructure institutions (MIIs) to submit root cause analysis (RCA) reports on technical glitches.
According to the circular, "The preliminary and RCA report of technical glitch shall be shared by the MII with Sebi through a dedicated web-based portal of SEBI viz. iSPOT."
This initiative replaces the previous email-based submission system, making reporting more efficient and transparent.
SEBI: Enhancing Data Quality & Monitoring
iSPOT serves as a centralized repository for tracking technical issues, improving data accuracy, traceability, and compliance monitoring. The system also enables SEBI to generate reports for better oversight and risk management.
Seamless Integration with SEBI’s Systems
The portal is integrated with SEBI’s Intermediary (SI) portal, allowing MIIs to log in with their existing credentials, ensuring a seamless transition.
SEBI: Implementation Date
As per SEBI’s latest circular, the mandatory use of iSPOT will take effect from February 3, marking a significant step towards a more structured and efficient approach to handling technical disruptions in the financial markets.
SEBI: Micro SIP
In an effort to expand the reach of mutual funds in the underserved regions of the nation, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has recently suggested bit-sized systematic investment plans (SIP) of Rs 250.
Although tiny SIPs are currently offered by a number of asset management firms (AMCs), the market regulator believes that the "sachetization" of SIPs would enable the whole sector to take part in financial inclusion. SEBI has also proposed receiving feedback; the deadline for the regulator to receive feedback on the plans is February 6.
