SEBI RegTech Suite: SUPCOMS 2.1, e-Adjudication and C-SAC
Why in the news
SEBI, led by Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey, introduced three regulatory-technology platforms in March 2026. They aim at greater transparency, quicker processes and stronger cyber supervision of the capital market.
The three platforms
| Platform | What it does | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| SUPCOMS 2.1 (Single Universal Platform for Communications) | Replaces scattered email exchanges; queries, submissions and replies are kept in one place | “Single version of truth”; fewer lost communications; easier business |
| e-Adjudication Portal | Digitises the quasi-judicial arm handling disputes and enforcement, from notices to final orders | Paperless, quicker hearings, clearer case tracking |
| Cyber-Sec Audit Compliance (C-SAC) | AI tool that reads cyber audit reports from stock exchanges, depositories and others | Flags gaps and risk areas so SEBI can act before a weakness is exploited |
Key facts
- SUPCOMS 2.1 moves SEBI away from fragmented email-based interaction.
- e-Adjudication targets enforcement and legal disputes, not IPO approvals.
- C-SAC is AI-powered; it replaces manual review of audit reports.
Significance
- Boosts ease of doing business for regulated entities.
- Strengthens defences against cyber-attacks on financial infrastructure.
Exam angle
