This SEBI accessibility audit case study shows how Ananyoo brings SEBI-regulated websites and mobile applications into WCAG 2.2 AA and GIGW 3.0 compliance. As an IAAP-certified accessibility consultant, I help SEBI-registered entities find and remove digital barriers so every investor — including people with disabilities — can access their services independently.

SEBI’s Digital Accessibility Mandate

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is the primary regulatory authority overseeing the Indian securities market, with a core mission to protect investor interests, ensure fair practices, and foster the development of the market across stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.

In accordance with SEBI Circular No. SEBI/HO/ITD-1/ITD_VIAP/P/CIR/2025/131 dated September 25, 2025 — which provides compliance guidelines for Circular No. SEBI/HO/ITD-1/ITD_VIAP/P/CIR/2025/111 dated July 31, 2025 — all regulated entities must adhere to the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act (RPwD), 2016, and its associated rules. To promote inclusivity, SEBI requires SEBI-registered company websites and mobile applications to fully comply with GIGW 3.0 and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) technical standards.

Why SEBI Accessibility Compliance Matters

For SEBI-regulated entities, digital accessibility is now a regulatory obligation rather than a best practice. Websites, mobile apps, and trading platforms are the primary way investors access financial services, so any accessibility barrier can prevent people with disabilities from opening accounts, completing KYC, or managing their investments. India’s Supreme Court has affirmed that digital access forms part of the right to life and liberty, reinforcing why a thorough SEBI accessibility audit is essential. Achieving WCAG 2.2 AA, GIGW 3.0, and RPwD Act 2016 compliance protects investors, reduces legal and reputational risk, and demonstrates to regulators that your platform meets its accessibility responsibilities.

My SEBI Accessibility Audit Credentials

My contributions leverage internationally recognised IAAP credentials to conduct comprehensive audits and remediation. My qualifications include:

• CPACC – Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies (IAAP)
• CPWA – Certified Professional in Web Accessibility (IAAP)
• WAS – Web Accessibility Specialist (IAAP)

SEBI Accessibility Audit & Remediation Services

The services I provide for SEBI-registered company website audits and remediation include:

• Accessibility consulting
• Comprehensive manual audit
• Audit retest / verification
• Remediation
• Mobile-friendliness and responsiveness checks
• Accessibility statement & policies

Every SEBI accessibility audit pairs automated testing (Deque axe, Google Lighthouse, WebAIM WAVE) with manual assistive-technology testing using JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver and TalkBack — so issues are validated the way real users actually experience them, not just flagged by a scanner.

Proven SEBI Compliance Experience

These efforts create a more accessible digital experience for every SEBI user. I have effectively audited and remediated numerous SEBI-registered company websites in line with these guidelines, bringing them into measurable WCAG 2.2 AA, GIGW 3.0 and RPwD Act compliance.
