Financial Planner Regulation

Financial planners can be individuals or firms.

There is no specific regulation for financial planners, but there are certain professional bodies and associations that financial planners can choose to become a member of.

There is no specific education or certification requirement. However, financial planners typically have a background in finance, business, or a related field, and may hold a bachelor's or master's degree in a relevant subject such as finance, economics, or accounting.
 

Thanks @ Mitali, Someone told that some SEBI, NISM certification is needed to become Financial Planner hence was confused?
