CBI has made substantial progress in the investigation into the NSE co-location case where markets regulator Sebi has found violations of norms by exchange, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said
Sebi directed the National Stock Exchange to disgorge Rs 625 crore, along with interest at 12 per cent per annum since 2014, for lapses at its co-location facility
The tribunal, however, granted an additional week to the exchange to comply with the May 22 order which directed NSE to transfer Rs 687 cr to Sebi within two weeks from the escrow account
A total of three petitions have been filed against the rulings of the market regulator, which had also directed the bourse to disgorge profits worth over Rs 1,000 crore
The three are Ravi Varansi, head of business development; Nagendra Kumar SRVS, head of membership department; and Deviprasad Singh, head of co-location support
Sebi has barred the three officials from holding any position with any stock exchange, depository, clearing corporation and any intermediary registered with it for two years
Ravi Narain was an independent director on the board of PI Industries and Escorts. Both the two companies and made a stock exchange disclosure stating that Narain had resigned with immediate effect
