IL&FS Engineering and Construction Company was asked to disgorge Rs 59.16 crore among others. Sebi, however, said that IL&FS Engineering and Construction Company was neither an insider in Satyam Computers and Maytas, nor did it have access to the 'unpublished price sensitive information', and therefore it has been spared of any debarment action.

Further, Sebi also directed the said entities to pay an interest at 12% per annum on the disgorgement amount with effect from 7 January 2009, the day Satyam Computers' founder and then Chairman B Ramalinga Raju admitted to a massive long-running fraud at the company.
