India's market regulator, SEBI, is clarifying the debate on derivatives trading. Chairperson Tuhin Kanta Pandey emphasizes that futures and options are distinct. The real concern lies with short-dated options and expiry-day speculation, not the entire derivatives market. SEBI is promoting transparency and awareness through data disclosure and statutory warnings to guide investors.
