In a warning to the exchange and its members, the FMC has threatened that those who enter into such contracts or are involved in organising or assisting in organising such trading are liable for criminal prosecution under the FCR Act, 1952.

According to the Act, such trades fall within the jurisdiction of the FMC and organisations offering such contracts for trade require permission from the commodity market regulator. PXIL has not taken the approval.

An PXIL official said, “We have no comment to offer, as we have received the FMC letter just now. However, we have already taken all necessary permission from the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), the power regulator in the country.”

The FMC and the CERC have been at loggerheads over regulating power contracts.

Pramod Dev, the CERC chairman, however, said the applicant had to meet the statutory requirements of all authorities. Because of regulatory overlappings, the CERC’s permission alone would not suffice, he added.
