Anti-Reservation remarks by Chairman of Motilal Oswal Group

SEBI Judgement

The company had to pay 500,000 Rupees as settlement as a consequence of their involvement in a series of IPO irregularities in the years 2003-2005.[28]

SEBI had passed a general ad interim ex-parte order dated April 27, 2006 in connection with 21 IPOs and had directed some depository participants, including MOSL, not to open fresh demat accounts pending investigations. The said ad interim ex-parte order was treated as a show cause notice by SEBI. Upon MOSL showing cause and making representations, SEBI after hearing all relevant facts, passed another interim order dated August 31, 2006 removing the restriction on MOSL in relation to opening of fresh demat accounts. An enquiry officer appointed by SEBI had served a notice dated February 9, 2007, on MOSL under Regulation 6 of the SEBI (Procedure for Holding Enquiry and Imposing Penalties), Regulations, 2002, (“DP Enquiry Notice”), in connection with the MOSL’s depository participant operations in relation to some of the 21 IPOs referred to in the ad interim ex-parte order dated April 27, 2006. The DP Enquiry Notice required MOSL to show cause as to why action ought not to be taken for (i) allegedly aiding and abetting various allottees who opened fictitious demat accounts, and, (ii) alleged breach of “Know Your Client” norms, and a consequent breach of securities laws including the SEBI DIP Guidelines. MOSL responded to the DP Enquiry notice vide their letter dated April 3, 2007, wherein it, (i) demonstrated in detail as to how it has complied with applicable SEBI Guidelines, instructions and directions, both in letter and in spirit; and, (ii) presented detailed findings of an independent auditor empanelled with SEBI. Subsequently, SEBI vide their letter dated November 3, 2009 has forwarded the Enquiry Report dated October 23, 2009 and has asked MOSL to file its reply or apply for consent order. Accordingly, MOSL has expressed its intention to apply for Consent Terms vide letter dated November 26, 2009.

The high powered advisory committee of SEBI recommended the case for settlement on payment of Rs. 5,00,000/- towards settlement charges. MOSL paid the above amount and accordingly SEBI has disposed off the pending inquiring proceedings against MOSL.[29]
