Stock exchange and SEBI must act to protect investors: Suspension and delisting seems easy way for Stock exchange ad SEBI. These measures might have been used by dishonest promoters to get rid of investors and regulatory measures for time being.

..... investors including by timely action for avoiding suspension of trading. On suspension of trading small investors suffers. Experience shows that many times company management ( old or new) acquire shares in various ways at very low price and then take steps for revocation of suspension and resuming trading at high price. In spite of many regulatory measures, management of companies are able to strengthen their holding by eliminating small investors who are large in number and large in total investment. Many companies in the revocation list of 2023 are such companies who resumed trading at higher price but with regulatory mechanism that goes against small investors interest and help management of companies to get listed, improve stock price. There are many companies without any significant improvement in working but stock prices have improved. - Scholarly articles for knowledge sharing authors experts professionals Tax Management India - taxmanagementindia - taxmanagement - taxmanagementindia.com - TMI - TaxTMI - TMITax .....
