SEBI Bars Omaxe and Associates for Violating Minimum Public Shareholding Norms
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has barred realty firm Omaxe and five associated entities, including promoters Rohtas Goel, Jai Bhagwan Goel, and former Joint Managing Director Sunil Goel, from accessing the securities market for up to one year. SEBI found that Omaxe and its group companies routed Rs 46.5 crore through multiple entities to artificially meet minimum public shareholding norms during 2013 offer-for-sale windows. The regulator imposed fines totaling Rs 1.92 crore and prohibited these entities from dealing in securities during the restraint period.
