SAT Quashes Rs 1.49 Crore MCX Penalty on Ventura Securities Over Invalid Order
The Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) has set aside a Rs 1.49 crore penalty imposed by the Multi Commodity Exchange of India (MCX) on Ventura Securities for alleged client-level position-limit violations in natural gas options. The tribunal found the penalty order invalid as it was signed by a former committee member who had ceased to hold the position months earlier. SAT directed MCX to refund Rs 1.76 crore, including GST, and pay Rs 1 lakh in legal costs to Ventura Securities.
