“Integrity is the essence of everything successful.” This has been rightly quoted by Mr. Buckminster Fuller. Ethical trading is the point at which the Company's, the Investor’s and the General Public's interests are coincided and are thought about without risking any of their interest during the course of its trade. Insider Trading is purchasing, offering or managing a security while rupturing the organization strategies or controls, in this manner breaking the trust and certainty of an organization while having Unpublished Price Sensitive Information (UPSI) about the securities. Insider trading can be legal or illegal. Legal Insider trading is the point at which the insiders of the organization exchange shares yet in the meantime report the exchange to the Securities and Exchange Board of India. Whereas, Unlawful insider trading is the point at which the insiders need to profit by the organization data at the cost of the organization. Illegal insider trading is prima facie against the concept of ethical trading. This paper recognizes various hiatus that the present regulations pertaining to insider trading has, consequential to the increase in the occurrence of number of cases recently. Such lacunaes are recognized and correlated to the effective methods deployed in other countries. This paper alsosuggests certain recommendations enriching the statutes governing Insider trading in India.
