SEBI notifies settlement rules separating payments from recovery

2026-10-11 · 1 source · BusinessLine Markets

In short

SEBI has notified settlement rules that separate settlement payments from the recovery of wrongful gains. The framework uses stage-based calculations and gives people 60 days to settle cases before a show-cause notice.

This matters for market participants facing enforcement action because the payment rules are now clearer. The report does not say when the rules start or how broadly they will apply.
