SEBI’s adjudicating officer Barnali Mukherjee said in the order, “I find that the circular specifically instructed the brokers to settle the accounts and issue the statement on time. However, the noticee failed to do so.”

Though the noticee has now taken corrective action, it is found that it has failed to dispose of funds and securities on monthly/quarterly basis.
