Sebi slaps Rs 20 lakh penalty on four entities for 'non-genuine trades'

Capital markets regulator Sebi on Tuesday slapped penalties totalling Rs 20 lakh on four entities for indulging in non-genuine trades in the illiquid stock options segment on the BSE. In four separate orders, the regulator imposed a fine of Rs 5 lakh each on Nirman Chatha, Rajvardhan Foundation, Dinesh Kumar Agarwal HUF and Pramod Kumar Jain. The orders came after the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) observed large-scale reversal of trades in the illiquid stock options segment of BSE, leading to the creation of artificial volume. Thereafter, the markets watchdog conducted an investigation into the trading activities of certain entities in illiquid stock options at BSE for the period April 2014 to September 2015. According to Sebi, reversal trades are those trades in which an entity reverses its buy or sell positions in a contract with a subsequent sell or buy position with the same counterparty. These trades are alleged to be non-genuine trades as they lack basic trad

Ex-chairman calls Sebi's 'minimum info' directive 'inconsistent, laughable'

Capital markets regulator Sebi's recent directive on minimum information has many inconsistencies and is "laughable", former Sebi chairman M Damodaran said on Wednesday. Addressing an event organized by the Institute of Internal Auditors here, Damodaran said we will not be able to see good governance at companies if there are prescriptive arrangements, and advocated that such practices come from within. He quipped that the February 14 directive on industry standards on minimum information to be provided for review by the audit committee and shareholders for approval of a related party transaction is a "very elaborate" document. "Even the tabular statement is several pages long. It has so many things that if you take them seriously, you will have a problem. So it's better to read them, laugh at them and go on with life," the IAS officer-turned-regulator said. "There are inconsistencies within that document. There are inconsistencies that that document has with other prescriptions fr

Fund raising from capital markets to jump 21% to Rs 14.27 trn in FY25: Buch

Overall fundraising from capital markets, including through equity and debt instruments, is estimated to jump by nearly 21 per cent to Rs 14.27 lakh crore in FY25 from the Rs 11.8 lakh crore in FY24, Sebi chief Madhabi Puri Buch said on Friday. Buch said in the past nine months of the current fiscal, entities have mobilised Rs 3.3 lakh crore in equity and Rs 7.3 lakh crore from the debt markets, with the overall mop-up reaching Rs 10.7 lakh crore. "If we project for the next quarter (Q4), we will probably end somewhere like over Rs 14 lakh crore raised for the year in terms of capital, both equity and debt," Buch said addressing a NISM-organised conference here. A presentation made by Buch pegged the FY25 estimate at Rs 14.27 lakh crore. Buch said money raised by real estate investments trusts, infrastructure investment trusts and municipal bonds has a very small contribution to the overall capital raising at around Rs 10,000 crore in the first nine months of FY25, but added that s
