In its efforts to crack down on unsolicited stock recommendations and advisors, the. Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has issued warning letters to around 20 unauthorised investment advisors since May.

Viewing these activities as "very serious" violations, the regulator has called for strict action if they are found to be indulging in such recommendations without registering.
