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 .

Nuvama gets Sebi's green light to commence its mutual fund business

Nuvama Wealth Management Ltd on Wednesday said it has received final approval from markets regulator Sebi to commence mutual fund operations through its asset management arm, Nuvama Asset Management. The approval paves the way for the company to establish its mutual fund business and expand its asset management offerings. Nuvama said its asset management company will initially seek regulatory approvals to launch investment products under the Specialised Investment Fund (SIF) framework, followed by a broader range of mutual fund products over time. In a statement, the company said the development strengthens its position as an integrated wealth and asset management platform and will enable it to offer a wider range of investment solutions across investor segments. "Sebi's approval to establish our mutual fund business is another important building block in Nuvama's integrated wealth and asset management platform," Nuvama Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer Ashish Keh

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. Sebinoted that while listed AMCs are already subject

'Sebi misread accounts': Rajesh Exports founder denies irregular fund flows

Rajesh Exports Chairman Rajesh Mehta on Tuesday denied any fund diversion in its subsidiary ACC Energy and promoter-controlled Elest Ltd, saying Sebi has not understood the accounting entries, even as the company faces potential removal from the Rs 18,100-crore ACC Production-Linked Incentive scheme. "First of all, the Sebi has made observations. That has to be put in the right place first. Point number two, there is zero diversion of funds. They have not understood the accounting entries," the Rajesh Exports founder told PTI. The company is ready to clarify, he added. The market regulator's June 3 interim order flagged a circular fund-routing scheme involving ACC Energy Storage and promoter-controlled Elest Pvt Ltd. After Elest acquired 49 per cent of ACC Energy in January 2025, it gave Rs 147 crore to the subsidiary, which returned Rs 112 crore on the same day. ACC Energy Storage also invested Rs 262 crore in Elest without disclosing valuation details. The company's MD and CFO ..

Capital markets emerging as key avenue for household savings: Sebi chief

Capital markets are increasingly emerging as a core avenue for household savings and wealth creation in India, reflecting a structural shift in how Indians are investing and participating in the country's growth story, SEBI Chairperson Tuhin Kanta Pandey said on Monday. "Capital markets are increasingly becoming a core avenue for household savings and wealth creation," Pandey said at the ICICI Securities India Investor Conference 2026. On the Portfolio Management Services (PMS) regulations, the SEBI chief indicated that extensive deliberations are underway and a consultation paper will be released soon. However, he declined to specify a timeline. Pandey said India's economic rise is not only about higher growth numbers but also about the formalisation of the economy, financialisation of savings and growing trust in institutions. Highlighting the growing depth of Indian markets, Pandey said the country now has around 145 million investors in the securities market, with the investor

LIC in talks with regulators to expand long-term instruments: CEO

State-owned Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) is engaging with key financial regulators, including the Reserve Bank and Sebi, to expand the availability of long-term investment instruments as inflows into its annuity products keep on rising, CEO and MD R Doraiswamy said. An Annuity product converts an accumulated retirement corpus into a guaranteed, lifelong stream of income. When one invests a lump sum, LIC pays a regular pension for life, ensuring the savings aren't outlived. "When the annuity markets are becoming more favoured by the policyholders, and more investments flow into annuities, we need to necessarily have long-term investments matching that kind of long-term liabilities. So we have been in touch with the (insurance) regulator as well as the regulators like SEBI, as well as RBI and the requirements of LIC, particularly are being duly communicated to them," he told PTI in an interview. He further said the sector regulator, Insurance Regulatory and Development ..

Rajesh Exports may get dropped from PLI scheme, final decision in days

The Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) is set to decide in the coming days on removing Rajesh Exports from the list of beneficiaries under the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme for advanced chemistry cell (ACC) battery storage, after the SEBI last week passed an interim order alleging massive financial fraud by the Bengaluru-based firm. Sources in the ministry told PTI that there is a "strong view" within the department that the company should be dropped from the scheme. The matter will be placed before Minister of Heavy Industries H D Kumaraswamy, who has returned from an official trip to Kyrgyzstan. "A final call will be taken in the coming days," a source said. In a 109-page ex parte interim order dated June 3, SEBI alleged that Rajesh Exports - primarily a gold jewellery manufacturer and exporter - inflated revenues by Rs 15.15 lakh crore between FY21 and FY25, amounting to approximately 99.8 per cent of the revenues attributed to its subsidiaries over the period being ..
