Capital markets regulator Sebi on Wednesday imposed penalties totalling Rs 40 lakh on eight entities for indulging in non-genuine trades in the illiquid stock options segment on the BSE. In eight separate orders, the watchdog slapped fines of Rs 5 lakh each on Dwitiya Trading Ltd, Vineeta Kabra, Puneet Sabharwal HUF, Hemant Purshotamdas Gopani HUF, Mudrikaben Pareshkumar Shah, Gopalkrishna Ratanlal Shah HUF, Prabir Saha, and Sudha 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, Sebi conducted a probe into the trading activities of certain entities in illiquid stock options on BSE for the period from April 2014 to September 2015. According to Sebi, reversal trades are the trades in which an entity reverses its buy or sell positions in a contract with subsequent sell or buy positions with the same counterparty.
