Fino Payments Bank settles Sebi proceedings 

Fino Payments Bank has settled proceedings with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) related to alleged violations of disclosure norms under the Sebi Regulations. The settlement order, received on October 6, 2025, resolves the matter without the bank admitting or denying the findings.

 

Sebi had issued a show cause notice after observing that the bank failed to make timely and complete disclosure of material events involving fraud by its employees. 

 

The complaints included 15 allegations of fraudulent investment schemes, and the value of these events exceeded the materiality thresholds under Sebi regulation. The incidents had reportedly impacted the bank’s share price significantly during the relevant period, Sebi said. 

 

In line with the Settlement Order, the bank has paid a settlement amount of ₹5.88 lakh, the company said in a statement. Sebi has disposed of the proceedings against the bank, it said, noting that the financial and operational impact of the settlement is insignificant.
