 +
 +===== Ratio decidendi =====
 +
 +SEBI's informant mechanism under Regulation 7B, SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, operates on anonymity-to-regulator. Complaint-count statistics, resolution times and bounty payments (aggregate) are disclosable. Any data identifying the complainant is absolutely protected under §8(1)(g) — the Act's mirror protection is statutory.
