Sebi Proposes Settlement Option for Fund Diversion Cases and New Mutual Fund PMS Category
India's Securities and Exchange Board (Sebi) is considering allowing companies and individuals accused of diverting funds from listed firms to settle cases by returning misappropriated money with interest and disclosing details. This marks a shift from Sebi's previous refusal to settle such cases due to investor harm concerns. The regulator will also discuss introducing a mutual fund-specific category for portfolio management services. The proposals will be reviewed at Sebi's board meeting on September 24.
