March 25 : Alphabet's Google will label verified investment apps on its app store in India, a move aimed at helping users spot legitimate trading platforms and avoid scams, a senior official at the country's markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India said on Wednesday.
The move will allow only brokers and intermediaries registered with SEBI to carry a verified badge, helping users identify legitimate platforms and distinguish them from fraudulent apps posing as them.
