Capital Market is one of most attractive avenue for a corporate body to raise capital through ownership and debt instruments. However, this was not always the case. Earlier, capital market was accessible to few companies only and investor base in these markets was not that strong. With the establishment of Securities and Exchange Board of India and the liberalisation of the economy under the New Economic Policy of 1991, capital market has seen huge development over almost last three decades. Though this period has witnessed several scams and frauds in capital market, but each time, with stronger reforms, SEBI has taken steps to correct the market.

Due to complexities of the transactions involved in raising capital through capital market, SEBI is empowered as regulator to make regulations and ease out the transactions with proper disclosures and other regulatory actions. SEBI has not just regulated the transaction between the principal players i.e. issuer company and investors rather SEBI has made detailed regulation for each and every intermediary in the capital market who facilitate these transactions. Because of this the complexities of this subject has increased more. A sound knowledge in this area can be obtained only on understanding it in conjunction with primary enactments such as Companies Act, 2013, Securities Contract (Regulation) Act, 1956, Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992, Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999. This course aims to provide just that.
