Regulation
SEBI's finfluencer rules: what they mean for BFSI marketing
Short answer
SEBI restricts regulated entities, and their agents, from associating with unregistered persons who give investment advice or make return claims. Education-only content remains possible. For brands, the practical shift is from paid 'tips' partnerships to researched, educational creator content.
