Even after SEBI's warning, people are not listening, 1.75 lakh crore rupees were wiped out

SEBI Campaign: Investors who increase their earnings in the stock market often lose their hard-earned money by getting trapped in the market's trap. Seeing the earnings of big investors, retail investors enter the market and due to lack of information, they suffer losses. Loss that too in lakhs of crores of rupees. Especially those investors who trade in futures and options suffer more losses.

We are not saying this, but SEBI's own data. When SEBI accelerated its action to stop this game of call-put, the market value fell. There was a huge fall of Rs 1.75 lakh crore in the market valuation and suddenly the multibagger stocks which were seeing a rise, that rally stopped.

BSE stocks have fallen nearly 29% from their all-time high, leading to a Rs 35,000 crore drop in market value, while one of the biggest multibagger stocks in the unlisted sector on the NSE has also fallen 22% from its highest level, causing investors to suffer a loss of Rs 1.4 lakh crore.

Impact on corporate earnings

The devastation extends far beyond the exchanges. Discount brokerage firm Angel One, which earns most of its revenue from FNO trades, has fallen 37% from its highs and closed Thursday's session down 5%. In an ET report, market expert Neeraj Dewan said the stocks have fallen due to discussions of changing the weekly expiry from 15 days or reducing the number of expiries.

He highlighted market apprehensions about SEBI's possible move to further ban derivative trading.

At the same time, global brokerage firm Jefferies said that if the weekly expiry is increased to 15 days, it could cut FY27 EPS by 20-50% for BSE and 15-25% for Nuwama. However, if SEBI implements a 15-day expiry with the same expiry days for both BSE and NSE or only monthly expiry remains, then further selling pressure is expected.

SEBI is strict on F&O

SEBI has made up its mind to regulate F&O, which was first announced in October 2024. Which is still going on. During FY 2025, 91% of individual traders in the equity derivatives segment lost Rs 1.06 lakh crore, which means an average trader lost Rs 1.1 lakh. SEBI has left no stone unturned in its fight against uncontrolled speculation.

It accounts for 78% of the options premium traded and over 99% of the futures premium traded. The exchange also dominates the cash markets with a 93.5% gross turnover market share till June 2025. Since the beginning of this month, BSE and NSE have swapped the expiry dates of their derivatives.

Many expected BSE's market share to decline due to the Sensex expiry shifting from Tuesday to Thursday, but BSE gained in the first week.

Market data shows that estimated average daily turnover for both BSE and NSE increased for the third consecutive month in August. NSE's estimated ADTV rose 3.2% on a monthly basis to Rs 236 lakh crore, while BSE's estimated ADTV rose 17.2% on a monthly basis to Rs 178 lakh crore. After a decline in July, the premium ADTV for both BSE and NSE has increased in August.

90% people lose money in F&O

Market veteran Sudip Bandyopadhyay said in a cautious tone that the regulator and the government are focused on the safety of retail investors. If you look at the ban on online games and the massive ban on F&O, the government is also on alert mode regarding this, because data shows that more than 90% of people lose money while trading in F&O
