The Supreme Court on Thursday asked Sahara group chief Subrata Roy to be personally present before it on February 28 to explain why he had failed to pay his entire dues worth Rs25,781 crore excluding interest, despite being given “several opportunities and indulgence.”

As on date, Sahara has deposited around Rs20,000 crore in the Sebi-Sahara account, which includes principal Rs15,160 crore and Rs4,800 crore interest and is liable to pay a further Rs10,621 crore, according to Sebi.

Sebi has proposed a new set of framework for REITs and InvITs in order to provide flexibility to the issuers in terms of fund raising and increasing the access of these investment vehicles to investors. Under the proposal, minimum allotment and trading lot for publicly issued REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) and InvITs (Infrastructure Investment Trusts) will be reduced.

Markets regulator Sebi Monday slapped a fine of Rs 3.40 crore on Exelon Infrastructure and 27 other entities, including promoters and directors, for indulging in fraudulent trading and violating insider trading norms.

Of the total penalty, the firm has been fined Rs 1.19 crore and the 27 entities have been penalised in the range of Rs 1 lakh to Rs 25 lakh.

The central government has decided to frame a rule that would mandate regulators and other autonomous bodies to transfer surplus funds to the exchequer, said two government sources privy to the development. The new guideline is expected to come in a month.

The move would make the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) and a dozen other regulators, such as the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (Irdai) and the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA), to shell out a significant portion of their reserves into the Consolidated Fund of India.

In a clarification to reports that Raymond had received a show cause notice from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) for alleged security market violations, the company on Tuesday told the stock exchanges that the notice was related to matters, which are “procedural and technical in nature”. The company is working with the legal advisors to resolve the issues, it added.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), in a circular on Wednesday, said that mutual funds (MFs) may write call options under a covered call strategy.

Covered calls are a strategy in which an investor holds a long position in an asset and sells call options on that same asset to generate an income. A call option is a contract where the holder has the right, but not the obligation to buy the underlying asset.

Byculla, a south Mumbai neighbourhood, is known for its crowded and narrow lanes filled with honking cars fighting for space, its rows and rows of vegetable sellers, delicious streetside non-vegetarian food and its non-descript, medium-sized residential and commercial buildings.

One morning in July 2003, a group of four or five men struggled their way through the Byculla chaos to reach an old, worn-out, shabbily painted, medium-sized building.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) is working on improving its analytical capabilities.

The move is to aid surveillance and other functions, according to Chairman Ajay Tyagi.

Markets regulator Sebi has ordered attachment of bank and demat accounts, along with mutual fund folios, of Lokmangal Agro Industries and its directors to recover dues of around Rs 75 crore. The move comes after the regulator in May 2018 had directed the firm and its seven directors to refund the amount of Rs 74.82 crore which they had illegally raised from the investors, along with an interest of 15 per cent per annum.
