The Supreme Court on Thursday said it would hear on October 14 TMC MP Mahua Moitra's plea to mandate public disclosure of ultimate beneficial owners and portfolios of alternative investment funds (AIFs), foreign portfolio investors and their intermediaries in India. The plea came up for hearing before a bench of Justices B V Nagarathna and R Mahadevan.

Need full probe into 'Modani Scam': Congress on Sebi clean chit to Adani

A day after the SEBI's clean chit to the Adani Group in the Hindenburg matter, the Congress on Friday said there is a continued need to investigate the "scam" in all its dimensions as it extends far beyond the scope of investigations by the market regulator. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said in a statement that contrary to the managed headlines, the commercial partner in "Modani Enterprises" has now received a "clean chit" from SEBI only in two of the 20 matters being investigated by it under a Supreme Court-mandated probe. In a statement, Ramesh said there is continued need to investigate the "Modani Scam" in all its dimensions. He also shared a set of questions the party had posed in the 100-question-series "Hum Adani Ke Hain Kaun" (HAHK), and said they remain unanswered. The Congress leader noted that the Supreme Court on March 2, 2023 had directed SEBI to "conclude the investigation within two months" following the Hindenburg Report. "Yet,

Sebi proposes new closing auction framework for liquid derivative stocks

Markets regulator Sebi has proposed a new framework for the Closing Auction Session (CAS) in the equity cash market, starting with highly liquid derivative stocks to determine the closing prices of shares. The proposal, if implemented, is expected to reduce volatility, improve fairness, and make it easier for large and passive investors to execute trades. In its consultation paper, Sebi proposed that CAS would be applied in a phased manner, beginning with stocks available in the derivatives segment-- those with sufficient liquidity--and later extended to all stocks based on experience gained. A closing auction session is a short trading period held at the end of the day to determine the final price of a security. The regulator proposed that session will be held separately for 20 minutes, from 3:15 pm to 3:35 pm, unlike an earlier proposal that suggested conducting it after market hours, between 3:30 pm and 3:45 pm. The session would be divided into four phases --reference price .
