SBICAP Trustee Company Ltd resolved a dispute with SEBI regarding alleged breaches of debenture trustee rules by paying a settlement amount of Rs 25 lakh. SEBI's allegations included improper disclosures related to the maintenance of the 'recovery expense fund' and calendar of interest/redemptions on SBICAP's website.

New Delhi, Jun 12 (PTI) — SBICAP Trustee Company Ltd has concluded a settlement with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) over purported violations of debenture trustee regulations.

According to SEBI's order, the case against SBICAP was disposed of following the acceptance of the settlement terms and the receipt of the settlement amount.
