Sebi mistook Valcambi's Editda as revenue; all records submitted: REL

Gold jewellery maker and exporter Rajesh Exports Ltd, currently under the regulator Sebi's scanner, on Wednesday said that of the several thousand clarifications sought by the regulator over the past two-and-a-half years, only nine remain unresolved - with the alleged Rs 15.15 lakh crore revenue inflation query being one of them. "All the other eight questions are minor. Even this ninth question is absolutely minor. SEBI has found certain things suspicious and needs more documents," said Rajesh Mehta, founder and Chairman of the company, told PTI in an interview. Sebi, in an interim order, held that Rajesh Exports inflated its consolidated revenues by Rs 15.15 lakh crore over FY21FY25 by attributing outsized revenues to overseas subsidiaries - particularly Switzerland-based Valcambi SA - despite the subsidiary's audited standalone financials showing only a fraction of those figures. The regulator flagged what it called a prima facie misrepresentation of the company's financial ...

Rajesh Exports says will cooperate with audit, won't challenge Sebi's order

Bengaluru-based gold jewellery firm Rajesh Exports Ltd, which is under regulator Sebi's scanner over suspected revenue inflation of up to Rs 15.15 lakh crore for the 2020-21 to 2024-25 period, on Wednesday said it will fully cooperate with the fresh forensic audit ordered by the market watchdog and not challenge the interim order. In an interview with PTI, company founder and chairman Rajesh Mehta denied allegations that Rajesh Exports Ltd (REL) had impeded the audit process and said the company had been forthcoming with investigators throughout. "I would never agree to the fact that certain relevant documents have not been submitted by us. We have submitted everything we were asked for. Sebi has not found something; maybe we have missed out on something. All that will be reconciled now," Mehta said. Sebi, in an interim order, has held that gold refiner and jewellery manufacturer REL allegedly inflated its consolidated revenues by Rs 15.15 lakh crore over five years by attributing .

Sebi mulls easing executive remuneration disclosure norms for AMCs

Markets regulator Sebi on Wednesday proposed easing executive remuneration disclosure requirements for asset management companies (AMCs) by replacing individual name-wise disclosures with consolidated disclosures, citing industry concerns over privacy and competitive disadvantages. "This would provide a holistic and structured view of senior management compensation, enabling unitholders to assess the overall quantum of remuneration at the senior management level, while aligning the level of disclosure with considerations of materiality and proportionality," Sebi said in its consultation paper. Currently, mutual fund AMCs are required to disclose on their websites the remuneration of chief executive officers (CEOs), chief investment officers (CIOs), chief operating officers (COOs), the top 10 highest-paid employees, and all employees earning at least Rs 1.02 crore annually or Rs 8.5 lakh per month if employed for part of the year.
