The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan establishes licensing requirements, eligibility criteria, and financial resource thresholds for securities brokers. The regulations define three operational categories—Trading Only, Trading and Self-Clearing, and Trading and Clearing—each with specific minimum paid-up capital, net worth, and net capital balance requirements. It mandates fit and proper person tests for sponsors and management, prohibits single-member companies from obtaining new licenses, and outlines procedures for application, renewal, suspension, and cancellation of licenses.
