In April, India's market regulator SEBI handled over 4,200 investor complaints through its SCORES online platform—almost matching the number of new grievances filed that month. While unresolved cases ticked up slightly, companies and financial intermediaries responded to complaints in about eight days on average, with quicker follow-ups. The upgraded SCORES 2.0 system seems to be keeping resolutions on track.

What This Mean: For everyday investors, this shows SEBI is actively working to address their concerns—though the slight backlog reminds us that more complaints keep coming in. The faster turnaround times (just four days for reviews) signal the system’s improving efficiency, which matters because trust in markets depends on knowing regulators have your back when things go sideways.
