Sebi categories dues worth Rs 76,293 crore as 'difficult to recover'

Capital markets regulator Sebi has segregated dues to the tune of Rs 76,293 crore under "difficult to recover" category at the end of March 2024, marking an increase of 4 per cent from the preceding year. Of this, a huge chunk is on account of cases pending before court-appointed committees. Difficult to recover (DTR) dues are those that could not be recovered even after exhausting all modes of recovery. "Segregation of such DTR dues is purely an administrative act and this will not preclude the recovery officers from recovering the amount so segregated as DTR as and when there is a change in any of the DTR parameters," Sebi said in its annual report for 2023-24. As of March 31, 2024, Sebi identified 807 cases as DTR, with a total outstanding of Rs 76,293 crore, up from 692 cases amounting to Rs 73,287 crore the previous year, according to the report. Among these 807 cases, 36 are pending due to ongoing proceedings in State PID courts, National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), Nationa

Sebi clarifies on reports pertaining T+0 system mandatory for all

Capital markets regulator Sebi on Wednesday clarified on media reports pertaining to making the T+0 system mandatory for all. "This has been erroneously reported in a section of the press as Sebi bats for making the T+0 system mandatory for all," the regulator said in a statement. In a statement issued, the regulator clarified that its chief Madhabi Puri Buch was discussing the Application Supported by Blocked Amount (ASBA) facility, not the T+0 settlement cycle. The ASBA facility ensures that the investor's fund gets moved only when the allotment is completed. At an NSE event on Tuesday, the Sebi chairperson released a report on "Indian Capital Markets: Transformative Shifts Achieved through technology and reforms". The report referred to potential annual benefit of Rs 2,800 crore if ASBA for the secondary market were to be adopted fully by retail investors. "In this context, a question was posed to the Sebi chairperson on the ASBA facility being optional due to which retail ...

Sebi slaps Rs 20 lakh penalty on 4 entities for non-genuine trades on BSE

Capital markets regulator Sebi on Thursday slapped penalties totalling Rs 20 lakh on four entities for indulging in non-genuine trades in the illiquid stock options segment on BSE. The regulator imposed a fine of Rs 5 lakh each on Niruben Manojbhai Chudasama, Raj Kumar Lohiya, Nufact Merchandise Pvt Ltd and Nitu Agarwal. Sebi had observed large-scale reversal trades in the illiquid stock options segment on BSE, leading to artificial volumes on the exchange. The regulator conducted an investigation into the trading activities of certain entities engaged in the segment from April 2014 to September 2015. The four entities that have been fined on Thursday were among those who indulged in the execution of reversal trades. Reversal trades are alleged to be non-genuine in nature as they are executed in the normal course of trading, which leads to a false or misleading appearance of trading in terms of generating artificial volumes, the regulator said. By indulging in these acts, the enti
