Section - I
SEBI has asked NSDL, CDSL and eight depository participants to pay
Rs.116 crore within six months. They had allegedly allowed Roopalben Panchal and
her associates to use multiple demat accounts to corner shares in IPOs during 2003-05.
SEBI is yet to decide how the money will be used . It may go into its investor protection
fund or may be used to compensate the IPO investors. The order of SEBI talks about
violation of law and the supervisory negligence of depositories, but does not make any
accusation of any ill-gotten profit by these intermediaries. The amount to be paid by
NSDL is almost 45 per cent of its last years net worth. For CDSL, it is 17 per cent of its
last years net worth.
