Sebi Alleges Revenue Inflation at Rajesh Exports, Bars Promoter from Trading
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has alleged that Rajesh Exports and its promoter Rajesh Mehta engaged in large-scale financial misrepresentation, including possible inflation of 97-99% of the company's revenue between 2020 and 2024. Sebi's interim order highlights discrepancies in consolidated revenues, particularly involving overseas subsidiaries like Switzerland-based Valcambi SA, and notes persistent non-cooperation from the company. Mehta has been barred from trading, and a forensic audit has been ordered following a shareholder complaint about large outstanding trade receivables.
