How the exam will ask it
प्रीलिम्स
- The Consolidated Account Statement (CAS) gives investors a single view of their holdings across depositories and mutual funds.
- SEBI is the regulator of the securities market in India and frames investor-protection guidelines after seeking public comments.
- Depositories hold securities in dematerialised form, and a CAS consolidates such holdings with mutual fund investments.
मेन्स
GS-III (Economy, capital markets): retail participation in markets has grown, but investors often hold assets across multiple depositories and fund houses and lack a unified view. SEBI's review of the CAS, after public consultation, aims to improve transparency and investor protection. Way forward: clear guidelines, data security, and investor awareness so that consolidated reporting is reliable and easy to use.
