New Delhi: Markets regulator Sebi on Friday imposed a total penalty of Rs 27 lakh on four entities for indulging in fraudulent trade in illiquid stock options segment of BSE.

The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Board of India (IBBI) on Tuesday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with capital markets regulator Sebi for an effective implementation of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016. They have agreed to assist and cooperate with each other for effective implementation of the IBC, subject to limitations imposed by the applicable laws, an official statement said.

Stock market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) in its order has stated that Malvinder and Shivinder Singh were the ultimate beneficiaries of the `2,315-crore funds diversion done in a fraudulent manner in Religare Enterprises (REL) and Religare Finvest (RFL).

The 24-page ex-parte order passed on Thursday by G Mahalingam, Wholetime Member, Sebi, says that this is a remedial measure, pending further investigation.

Companies that have failed to comply with the Securities and Exchange Board of India’s (Sebi’s) 10 per cent cross-shareholding norm for asset management companies (AMCs) may now face the consequences.

Globally, total commodity asset under management has crossed USD 300 billion and India’s contribution to this is anything but negligible. In most parts of the world commodity derivative indices are traded by institutional investors, however, India is just getting started.

Markets watchdog Sebi has levied a penalty of Rs 25 lakh on Indus Portfolio for carrying out reversal of trades in the illiquid stock options segment on the BSE.

Sebi conducted a probe between April 2014 and September 2015 after observing large-scale reversal of trades in the stock options segment on the bourse which led to the creation of artificial volume.

With an aim to bolster its information-gathering mechanism and fast-track its probe, market regulator Sebi has sought direct powers to grant immunity in select cases and to impose lesser penalty if the accused agrees to provide assistance against other wrongdoers.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) tightened the valuation methodology for liquid mutual funds (MFs) and did away with the open offer exemption given to those seeking to acquire assets undergoing insolvency resolution.

To make sure liquid schemes reflect the underlying portfolio risks, Sebi has said all debt papers with maturity of 30 days or more to be marked to market. Earlier, fund houses didn’t have to do so for securities that had less than 60-day maturity.
