Question 1

What is insider trading data for NSE stocks?

Accepted Answer

Under SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations 2015, promoters, directors, and key managerial personnel (KMP) must publicly disclose trades in their own company’s shares. MarketsEasy tracks these public NSE disclosures so you can see when insiders are buying or selling.

Question 2

Is it legal to follow insider trading disclosures?

Accepted Answer

Yes. These are mandatory public disclosures filed with NSE and SEBI — completely different from illegal insider trading on non-public information. Following published disclosures is legal and widely used by investors to gauge insider conviction.

Question 3

Does insider buying mean a stock will go up?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Promoter and insider buying can signal conviction, but research shows the effect on Indian stock prices is modest and much of any move often happens before disclosure. Treat it as one context signal among many, not a buy recommendation.

Question 4

How often is the insider activity data updated?

Accepted Answer

The tracker refreshes daily after market close, pulling the latest SEBI PIT disclosures published by NSE. Filings appear once the company forwards them to the exchange, typically within two trading days of the trade.
