The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has imposed a Rs 40 lakh penalty on Rashmi Saluja, former executive chairperson of Religare Enterprises, for alleged insider trading linked to the Burman Group's open offer announced on September 25, 2023. Sebi directed her to disgorge approximately Rs 2 crore, representing wrongful gains from selling shares on September 21 and 22 while allegedly in possession of unpublished price-sensitive information.
