The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on Wednesday barred former IndusInd Bank chief executive officer (CEO) Sumant Kathpalia and four other senior officials from trading in the securities market, following allegations of insider trading linked to an accounting discrepancy worth over ₹3,000 crore.

IIFL Capital has received a regulatory warning from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) over concerns related to due diligence and disclosure of issue-related expenses and fee timelines in its debt offerings between April 2022 and April 2024.

Markets regulator Sebi has allowed all non-banking financial companies (NBFC), including housing finance companies, to invest in security receipts issued by Asset Reconstruction Companies (ARCs), a move aimed at encouraging investments in the bad loans space.

This has widened the scope of participants who can acquire security receipts from ARCs, thereby boosting liquidity in the distressed asset market.
