SEBI Proposes Overhaul of Settlement Rules with Fast-Track Process for Cases up to Rs 10 Lakh
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has proposed significant changes to its settlement rules to streamline enforcement proceedings. Key proposals include removing the additional 20% charge applied when multiple cases are settled together and introducing a fast-track settlement process for cases involving amounts up to Rs 10 lakh, bypassing the High Powered Advisory Committee. The new framework aims to simplify approvals, retain existing summary procedures for certain violations, and make settlement amounts more predictable and transparent.
