Verified App Label Initiative

Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey launched the Verified App Label Initiative to strengthen investor protection against the growing threat of fraudulent mobile applications.

Apps of SEBI-registered intermediaries will display a verified badge on the Google Play Store.

This badge will help investors easily identify genuine apps and make impersonation more difficult. This visual cue reinforces a simple message: ‘First verify. Then invest.”
