The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has launched a significant crackdown on 13 traders linked to front running activities involving three notable trusts, aiming to uphold market integrity.
Front running is an unethical practice wherein traders execute trades prior to large pending orders, securing undue profits. The trusts under scrutiny include the Bharat Kanaiyalal Sheth Family Trust, the Ravi Kanaiyalal Sheth Family Trust, and the Arjun Discretionary Trust.
SEBI’s investigation, which spanned from January 1, 2021, to October 31, 2022, uncovered that these traders conducted transactions just ahead of the trusts’ trades, resulting in illegal profits. The fines imposed on the 13 traders range from ₹5 lakh to ₹15 lakh (around $5,688 to $17,066), underscoring the severity of the infractions.
This action reflects SEBI’s ongoing dedication to combatting unfair trading practices and promoting an equitable environment for all investors within the Indian securities market. Participants are cautioned that such deceptive practices will be rigorously supervised and penalized.
