Insider Trading: UPSI Ka Matlab Kya?

Insider trading laws ka focus simple hai: jiske paas company ke bare me unpublished price sensitive information (UPSI) hai, wo market me chori se advantage nahi le sakta.

UPSI examples:

  • Upcoming big merger/acquisition,
  • Major profit/loss results,
  • Big litigation outcome,
  • Significant regulatory sanction,
  • Bonus, buyback, large orders.

Jab tak yeh info public nahi ho jata, tab tak insiders – directors, employees, consultants, auditors – aur unke “connected persons” ko shares buy/sell karne pe restrictions hoti hain. Trading window closures, pre-clearance, and reporting obligations isi liye hote hain.

Regulator suspicious patterns detect karke investigations karta hai – announcement ke pehle sudden volumes, linked accounts, phone records, etc.

Insiders ke liye easy rule: agar aap soch rahe ho “agar yeh news bahar aayi to price definitely hilega”, to tab trade karna usualy bad idea hai.
