Without disclosing the details of clarifications sought, Sebi has said that it is awaiting response from the Lead Manager for the proposed public offer of Numero Uno Clothing Ltd.

News broadcaster New Delhi Television Ltd (NDTV) plans to appeal against the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) imposing a penalty of Rs 2 crore for non-disclosure of a Rs 450-crore income tax demand made last year, under Clause 36 of the listing agreement.

The clause requires listed entities to immediately inform exchanges of events that will have a bearing on the performance of the company or its stock price.

Sebi on Thursday imposed a penalty of Rs 2 crore on New Delhi Television Ltd (NDTV) for delayed disclosures to the stock exchanges about a Rs 450-crore tax demand in early 2014.

The fine has been slapped for violation of disclosure norms under listing agreement.

Payment solutions provider AGS Transact Technologies has received the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi)'s approval to raise up to Rs 1,350 crore through an initial public offering (IPO). This is the company's second attempt to hit the capital market.

The firm had filed a draft red herring prospectus with Sebi through its lead merchant banker Axis Capital in March this year. Sebi issued its final observations on the draft offer documents on May 28, which is necessary for companies to launch any public offer.

Less than one-tenth of analysts have registered with Sebi so far even as the deadline for registrations ends on 31 May, 2015.

Sources said that the number of analysts registered with Sebi so far could be lower than 500 as many analysts are still sending in applications for the registration.

Capital markets regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) named Infosys founder N R Narayana Murthy to head a panel to devise rules on a new funding platform for homegrown start-ups, it said on its website.

In March, Sebi had announced an alternative investment platform targeted at the country's start-ups, relaxing requirements to encourage them to list at home.

Simplifying norms for domestic funds to manage offshore pooled assets, Sebi has dropped '20-25 rule', which required a minimum of 20 investors and a cap of 25 per cent on investment by an individual, for funds from low-risk foreign investors.

As per the existing norms, a fund manager who is managing a domestic scheme, is allowed to manage an offshore fund, subject to three specific conditions.

NEW DELHI: Capital markets regulator Sebi has sought clarification from merchant bankers of five firms including Amar Ujala Publications and Dilip Buildcon regarding their proposed initial public offers (IPOs).

The other companies from which Sebi has sought information are S H Kelkar and Company, Pennar Engineered Building Systems and Syngene International.
