The Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) on July 06, 2026, notified regarding the Enhanced Surveillance Measures on Stocks Linked to Unsolicited Social Media Content.
The notice provides an update on surveillance actions taken by the Exchange regarding the circulation of unsolicited videos and messages on social media that may influence stock prices. Certain securities have been shortlisted based on unusual price and volume movements, along with the spread of such content, as detailed in Annexure I.
Stringent measures, similar to GSM Stage IV, have been imposed on these shortlisted securities. These include placing stocks under a trade-for-trade segment with a price band of 5% or lower, restricting trading to once a week, and requiring buyers to deposit 100% of the trade value as Additional Surveillance Deposit (ASD). These actions are being implemented in a phased manner starting from July 07, 2026.
Additionally, some securities listed in Annexure II will be removed from this surveillance framework effective July 07, 2026. The measures operate alongside other existing surveillance mechanisms enforced by the Exchange to ensure market integrity.
The Exchange clarifies that the inclusion of securities under this framework is purely a precautionary step based on market surveillance indicators and should not be interpreted as any adverse action against the concerned companies or entities.
