Terming Sahara India Financial Corp Ltd as an entity not fit & proper , market regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has cancelled registration of the Sahara group unit as sub-broker of National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSE.
In an order, G Mahalingam, whole-time member (WTM) of SEBI, says, Subrata Roy Sahara is a promoter and continues to hold substantial shareholding in Sahara India Financial Corp and therefore, is also capable of exercising control and influence over the management of the Sahara India Financial Corp, thereby making it not a ‘fit and proper person’ in terms of Regulation 7(2)(e) read with Schedule II of the Intermediaries Regulations, to continue to act as a sub-broker.
