SEBI Revises Settlement Rules with Formula-Based Amounts and Fast-Track Process
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has approved new settlement regulations introducing a formula-based method to calculate settlement amounts and a fast-track route for less serious violations involving amounts up to Rs 10 lakh. The formula links the base amount to minimum penalties, adjusted for factors like proceeding stage and violation severity, while wrongful gains are disgorged separately to avoid double counting. The framework also offers a 90-day window for settling certain pending cases and aims to streamline enforcement.
