Amidst global tension and government appeal to save energy, the country's market regulator SEBI has also prepared to take a big step. SEBI has decided to implement work-from-home system on a limited scale for its employees. That means, the employees who regulate the market will work from home and will regulate the market from there.

According to the report of Moneycontrol, the advisory issued by SEBI will come into effect from May 25, 2026 and will remain effective for the next eight weeks. During this period, officers from Grade A to Grade C will be allowed to work from home one day a week on rotation basis. These posts include Assistant Manager, Manager and Assistant General Manager.

These employees will have to come to office

However, not all employees will get this facility. Deputy General Manager i.e. Group D and above officers will have to come to the office regularly. Apart from this, the employees and secretarial staff associated with the office of the Chairman and full-time members will also have to work from the office.

SEBI has also made it clear that at least 50 percent of the officers in every department will be physically present in the office. For this, instructions have been given to the Chief General Manager, Regional Director and department heads to prepare rotation duty list. Employees working from home have also been instructed to maintain data security and confidentiality. Also, people have been asked to be ready to reach office immediately if needed. SEBI has decided to put a temporary ban not only on work-from-home arrangements but also on non-essential internal programs. Brainstorming sessions, conclaves and social gathering programs will not be organized for the next eight weeks.
