Sebi Fines Axis Trustee Services Rs 10 Lakh for Delayed Disclosure on Former REIT CEO

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) fined Axis Trustee Services Rs 10 lakh for delayed disclosure related to Aravind Maiya, former CEO of Embassy Office Parks REIT's manager. Maiya was found guilty of professional misconduct by the National Financial Reporting Authority (NFRA) in August 2024, resulting in a penalty and a 10-year audit ban. Sebi noted Axis Trustee's failure to promptly disclose this material information and to independently assess Maiya's suitability under regulatory norms, leading to governance lapses.
