Sebi also refocused out that the exchange didn’t address colorful structure issues refocused out by the controller during examinations. ICEX argued that it was operating on thin budgets and didn’t have the fiscal power to address the issues refocused out by Sebi.

In a 14- runner ruling, SAT said that the exchange wasn’t indicted of any illegal exertion similar as defrauding investors or misusing its status as a stock exchange for vested earnings.

SAT has given ICEX one time to bring in the needed finances and meet Sebi morals. still, until the net worth criteria are met, ICEX has been asked to keep its trading operations closed. ICEX had freely closed its trading operations in March 2022 and presently is only offering collective fund- related products.

SAT also added that if ICEX manages to find the capital before the deadline, it could make an operation with Sebi for continuing trading operations. The bench has asked Sebi to consider the request and pass applicable orders.
