Sebi may issue framework on trade annulment

BS REPORTER
Mumbai, 12 October
Amid rising instances of 'freak trade' in the market, the Securities
and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) is planning to issue a framework on
the annulment of trade. However, the regulator might take the step
only after scenario-building, stress tests and consultations with all
market participants.
"We will work on a policy on trade annulment," Sebi chairman U K Sinha
said at a conference organised by the Federation of Indian Chambers of
Commerce and Industry. "It (rules on trade annulment) will take some
time. We want to be very cautious in whatever new structure we'll come
out with," he added.

aggregating ~650 crore by domestic broking firm Emkay Global. This had

frequency of change in the index value, etc, he said.
On last week's 'freak trade, Sinha said, "Sebi has aprescription for
certain internal checks and balances at the broker and exchange
levels. We would like to check whether any such checks and balances
were violated." On whether there would any change in current
guidelines to curb such instances in the future, Sinha said, "One can
expect some measures in the foreseeable future and a host of other
measures after sometime."

Companies that fail to meet the public shareholding deadline will have
to face severe consequences, Sebi chairman UK Sinha warned on Friday.
"Sebi will be conscious of the fact that the interest of the minority
shareholders in these companies are not being compromised. But I would
like to remind, consequences of non-compliance of the listing
agreement or any rule can be rather severe," he said at a FCCI capital
market conference in Mumbai. Sinha said even the finance ministry is
on board with it for not extending next year's deadline for achieving
the 25 per cent public shareholding requirement. Sinha said the
