Clarification on SEBI’s Requirement for Algo Trading (Effective Aug 1)

[jtutanota]

Hi Upstox Team,

With SEBI’s new algo trading guidelines mandating a static IP from August 1st, could you confirm:

1. Will Upstox enforce this for algo/API users?
2. If yes, what steps should users take (e.g., whitelisting IPs in Upstox console)?
3. Any official documentation or timelines for compliance?

Many traders rely on dynamic IPs, so an early update would help avoid disruptions. Thanks!

I am also looking for more clarification on this topic from quite a few days. SEBI’s Algo Trading Rules & Regulations - General - Upstox Community

A prompt confirmation will help many of us plan ahead and avoid service disruption. Appreciate your support!

Hope it comes out soon. Thanks

@jtutanota @Raghav_35590666 The team is actively working on it, evaluating the changes internally, and seeking clarification from the regulatory body for any uncertainties. We will soon share a detailed migration guide for our users along with official documentation.

We will update the below thread

Regulated framework for Algo/API based trading

Hello folks! The initial framework for the “Algo-trading” regulations is out! Link here. [NSE Circular] While we are interpreting the framework/regulations, I’m just putting this out here for you guys to view/access it. I’ll share a detailed drill down on what would change and be impacted over the coming weekend. Till then, happy trading! Best, Mohit Team Upstox

Thanks @Pradeep_Jaiswar for the update. Hope we get some time to work on the changes after the requirements are clear

Thanks @Pradeep_Jaiswar , myself not jumping the gun but i hope its not gonna be a overnight change.

@jtutanota @Raghav_35590666 I understand your concern. We’re also in ongoing discussions with the exchange on this matter. This isn’t something that should be enforced overnight—for either you or us.

i manage API integrations for over 10 users. Could you please clarify whether this rule requires me to register each user’s static IP individually with the broker, or if registration can be done directly with the Exchange for all associated accounts?
also if i scale from 10 to 100 users what are **procedure i have to follow

thank you**
