The warning has been issued to stock exchanges and other market intermediaries by Sebi through a circular, containing a global financial market caution notice on Iran by the financial action task force (FATF).

FATF is an inter-governmental body responsible for making policies at national and international levels to combat money laundering and terror financing.
