The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has sought an explanation from the National Stock Exchange (NSE) over allegations of some traders misusing its trading access point (TAP) software, The Economic Times (ET) reported on Thursday.

Allegedly, some high-frequency traders manipulated the platform in 2013 to execute "thousands of orders" without being detected and crowding out other users.

Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) is likely to change the rules to start tracking investments flowing into local private equity (PE) and venture capital (VC) funds, The Economic Times (ET) reports.

The market regulator is doing this to identify the investors and the source of the money. In addition, Sebi also wants to check if PE and VC funds, also known as alternative investment funds (AIFs), are being misused, the report said.

Capital markets regulator Sebi on Monday barred 14 entities for indulging in insider trading and ordered impounding ill-gotten gains of Rs 2.94 crore in the matter of Lux Industries Ltd.

Rejigging its market data advisory committee, Sebi has said the panel will now be chaired by S Sahoo, Professor at National Law University, Delhi and former chairperson, Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI), as per the latest information with the regulator.

Sebi on Wednesday imposed a penalty of Rs 1.5 crore on Karvy Computershare (presently known as KFin Technologies) for redeeming its units in Taurus Mutual Fund on the basis of privileged information, pertaining to Ballarpur Industries default, available to it as RTA.

By redeeming all units in Taurus Liquid Fund and Taurus Ultra Short Term Bond Fund in February 2017, Karvy Computershare made unlawful gain of about Rs 1.2 crore, Sebi said in an order.

Sundaram Asset Management Company Ltd, the 100 per cent subsidiary of Sundaram Finance Ltd on Friday said it received the regulatory approval for the purchase of asset management businesses of Principal Asset Management Pvt Ltd.

Market regulator Sebi wants IPO advertisements to display risk factors prominently. Also, Sebi wants the acquisition cost of all transactions in three years prior to the listing to be a part of the risk factors.

The risk to investors shall include weighted average cost of acquisition of all shares transacted in last three years and one year, from the date of red herring prospectus, Sebi has said in a communication to investment banking industry body AIBI.
