MUMBAI : Market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) is re-examining an old rule which prevented stock market brokers from operating trading terminals from locations other than those reported to the exchange, raising the possibility of many stockbrokers working from home over the longer term.This comes after the relaxations afforded during the lockdown which allowed brokers to operate terminals from home, or other remote locations as a preventive measure, in view of the covid-19 pandemic.These relaxations worked without a glitch and the relaxations are likely to continue till at least end of June.
This has strengthened the argument that modern trading systems are entirely electronic and should not be reliant on movement.
