The Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT), which hears appeals of securities markets, will render its verdict on liability of credit rating agencies (CRAs) in case of a debt market default. In September, Sebi had imposed a fine of Rs one crore on Brickworks, a CRA for not taking timely action in several instances.
