Summary
The SEBI (Settlement of Administrative and Civil Proceedings) Regulations, 2026 replace the 2018 rules from 7 November 2026. Settlement amounts are now worked out by formula rather than negotiation, with an application fee of Rs 25,000 for individuals and Rs 35,000 for others. Pending cases can apply by 5 February 2027, but at a 20% higher amount.
