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.

Mumbai: Every leader brings in a unique management style that is a mix of his personality and work experience. Ajay Tyagi, the current chairman of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), also seems to have drawn from his experiences as a bureaucrat in Delhi’s corridors of power. In his 21 months at the helm of the powerful markets regulator, Tyagi has set a unique record, constituting 15 committees, including working groups, and introducing a whopping 34 consultation papers.

Regulator Sebi is planning to beef up its market surveillance system as well as its tool for speedy analysis of trade data, which identifies possible violations such as insider trading, share price manipulation and front running.

In this regard, Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has invited applications from the interested companies to provide IT services for the maintenance of its integrated market surveillance system (IMSS), data warehousing and business intelligence system (DWIBS).

The new norms regarding offer for sale (OFS) of shares has come into effect. Markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Friday issued a detailed circular regarding new OFS norms.

Markets regulator Sebi has slapped a penalty of Rs 10 crore on three promoters of Man Industries for failing to make an open offer to the company’s shareholders.

The three promoters are JPA Holdings Pvt Ltd, Nikhil Mansukhani and Anita Mansukhani.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on Friday modified its interim order passed against the Fortis Healthcare former promoters, Malvinder Singh, Shivinder Singh, and seven others in connection with the alleged fund diversion and misrepresentation of financial statement of the hospital chain.

Markets regulator Sebi will soon issue detailed guidelines on the creation of segregated portfolio or side-pocketing for debt and money market instruments. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) also asked fund houses to strengthen their in-house credit risk assessment system instead of completely depending on rating agencies.

Market regulator Sebi on Friday relaxed guidelines pertaining to setting up cyber security operations centre for small market intermediaries as they lack knowledge in cyber security.

The decision has been taken after discussions with market participants, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) said in a circular.
