Sebi to auction Rose Valley's 27 properties worth Rs 63.26 cr on Nov 25

Capital markets regulator Sebi on Wednesday said it will auction 27 properties of Rose Valley group of companies on November 25 at a reserve price of Rs 63.26 crore in a bid to recover money raised by the firm from the public through illicit schemes. The properties to go under the hammer include flats, buildings, land parcels and hotels located in West Bengal and Bihar, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) said in a notice. The e-auction will be conducted on November 25 between 11 am to 1 pm. The total reserve price of these properties is pegged at Rs 63.26 crore, it added. The markets regulator said it has engaged Quikr Realty to assist it in sale of the properties of Rose Valley while C1 India has been appointed as the e-auction service provider. A committee would oversee sale of the assets and the money will be utilised for repaying the investors. The committee was formed following an order passed by Calcutta High Court in May 2015.

Sebi decides to make sales proceeds available to FPIs on settlement day

To boost operational efficiency and respond to concerns raised by Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs), Sebi on Wednesday said it has introduced measures to speed up the availability of sale proceeds for such investors, bringing them on par with domestic institutional investors. It is broadly estimated that efficiency gains on account of this measure would be around Rs 2,000 crore per annum. FPIs previously reported delays in their access to sale proceeds beyond the standard 'T+1' (trading plus one) settlement date. These delays were primarily due to the erstwhile process adopted for obtaining tax clearance on their net sale proceeds, to ensure compliance with FEMA Regulations. To address this issue, Sebi engaged in consultations with key stakeholders, including FPIs, clearing corporations, custodians, and tax consultants. This collaborative effort led to significant process improvements, making sale proceeds available to FPIs on settlement day, and bringing them on par with domestic

Sebi court rejects Ketan Parekh's plea for closure of payment default case

A special court here has rejected former stock market broker Ketan Parekh's plea for the closure of a case initiated against by SEBI for not paying a penalty imposed by the markets regulator, noting the accused prima facie violated the norms "intentionally". The special judge for cases under the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Act, RM Jadhav, in an order passed on October 4, ruled that Parekh's plea for compounding of the case against him "is unwarranted and uncalled for". SEBI initiated a criminal case against Parekh after he failed to pay the penalty for violating the board's regulation. In response, Parekh filed an application before the court for closure of the case by compounding. Parekh, in his plea, stated that the complaint had been filed in 2003 for the alleged violation dated 1997. Almost 25 years lapsed since the alleged violation. They offered to pay whatever amount sought by the board, Parekh's lawyer submitted before the court. "The applicant desires to

Sebi directs market infra institutions to establish data-sharing policies

Markets regulator Sebi on Tuesday proposed that stock exchanges and other market infrastructure institutions frame their own policy for sharing data for the purpose of research to promote data democratisation, data privacy and data accountability. However, data shared with vendors for commercial purposes will not fall under this policy, Sebi suggested in its consultation paper. The markets regulator has a data sharing policy to share anonymised data that are not publicly available. However, since Sebi is not the originator of most of the market data, the scope of sharing data under the extant data sharing policy of Sebi was deliberated by its Market Data Advisory Committee (MDAC). The committee suggested that in order to achieve the balance between data privacy vis-a-vis providing access to data, organizations, which are the actual source of data, will need to have a policy on data collection, processing, storage, dissemination and sharing. Accordingly, the regulator, in its ...
