SEBI Revises Settlement Rules with New Formula and Fast-Track Route for Cases Up to Rs 10 Lakh
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has introduced new settlement regulations revising the formula for calculating settlement amounts and establishing a fast-track route for cases involving amounts up to Rs 10 lakh. The updated framework separates disgorgement of wrongful gains from settlement calculations to avoid double counting. Settlement amounts will be based on a base figure linked to minimum penalties, adjusted for factors like violation gravity and legal costs. The fast-track route applies to certain disclosure-related and lower-value cases to expedite resolution.
