Sebi fines GKS Properties 5 lakh for fraudulent trade
Markets regulator Sebi levied a fine of Rs 5 lakh on GKS Properties for executing non-genuine trades in the illiquid stock options segment at BSE. The ruling follows an investigation conducted by Sebi in the stock options segment of the bourse between April 2014 and September 2015. During investigation, Sebi noted that 81.38 per cent of all trades executed in the segment at BSE were the ones which involved reversal of buy and sell positions by the clients and counterparties in a contract on the same day, thereby creating artificial volume in the stock options segment. GKS Properties was one such entity which executed reversal trades, Sebi said in an order dated July 15.
