SEBI Cracks Down on Pump-and-Dump Scam Involving Bollywood Actor Arshad Warsi
In a sweeping regulatory move, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has barred Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi, his wife Maria Goretti, and 57 other individuals from participating in the securities market for periods ranging from one to five years. This action comes after SEBI's investigation into a pump-and-dump scheme linked to Sadhna Broadcast Ltd, now renamed Crystal Business System Ltd. The Pump-and-Dump Scheme: What Happened According to SEBI's final order issued on Thursday, the scheme involved a coordinated effort to artificially inflate the price of Sadhna Broadcast shares through misleading YouTube videos, generating public interest and driving retail investors to buy in. Once the price spiked, key players dumped their shares at inflated prices, pocketing massive profits before the stock crashed. SEBI's probe covered the period between March 8, 2022, and November 30, 2022. Who Benefited and What Are the Penalties? Gaurav Gupta emerged as the largest beneficiary, making a profit of Rs 18.33 crore. Sadhna Bio Oils Pvt. Ltd gained Rs 9.41 crore. SEBI ordered disgorgement of Rs 58.01 crore in unlawful gains from all 59 entities involved, with 12% annual interest from the end of the investigation period until full payment. Arshad Warsi and Maria Goretti were each fined Rs 5 lakh. These penalties are part of SEBI's broader crackdown on fraudulent market activities that harm retail investors and undermine market integrity. What Is a Pump-and-Dump Scheme? Pump and dump is a form of securities fraud where the price of a stock or other asset is artificially inflated so insiders can sell at a profit, followed by a sharp decline in value that leaves unsuspecting investors with significant losses. How It Works: Pump: Insiders or coordinated groups spread false or exaggerated information to hype up a stock. Retail investors, seeing the rising prices, rush to buy in. This pushes the stock price even higher. Dump: Once the price reaches a desired level, insiders sell their holdings. The stock price plummets, causing massive losses to latecomers. Why Is It Illegal? In regulated markets, pump-and-dump is considered securities fraud and is punishable under laws like the Securities Exchange Act in the U.S. and relevant Indian laws under SEBI regulations. In unregulated or loosely regulated markets (such as certain cryptocurrency exchanges), enforcement is more challenging, though regulators are increasingly cracking down on such schemes. For investors, this serves as a stark reminder: always research thoroughly and beware of too-good-to-be-true tips, especially on social media platforms.

New investors' dilemma: Is flexi cap fund alone sufficient to deploy Rs 10 lakh for meeting goals
Live Events A Reddit user recently sparked an engaging conversation in the mutual fund community, outlining their plan to begin investing with a Rs 10 lakh lump sum and monthly SIPs of Rs 50,000–Rs 80, a long-term horizon of 10 years and a high risk tolerance, the investor questioned the need for multiple fund types, wondering why a single flexi-cap mutual fund wouldn't suffice for Indian equity reached out to an expert to understand whether only a flexi cap mutual fund is enough or not for a portfolio and why do investors need other funds as well in their funds are designed to offer broad market exposure, giving the fund manager the discretion to shift between large, mid, and small caps as market conditions evolve. 'This flexibility makes them a suitable base for most portfolios. However, the drawbacks in relying exclusively on flexi-cap holdings are manager bias and potential for alpha,' said Rajesh Minocha, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP), Founder of Financial adds that one of the main drawbacks is the potential manager bias, where fund managers often allocate a large portion of the portfolio to large-cap stocks in order to minimize volatility which can lead to underexposure in high-growth mid and small-cap segments, especially during market phases where these segments if the time horizon is long (say 10+ years), making dedicated investments in mid and small-cap funds through SIPs can generate better returns if the investor can bear the higher volatility and asset allocation discipline is very important, Minocha said and also recommended that one should never go overboard on risky categories, so that some allocation lands into stable options such as large cap or flexi cap, which can be conveniently redeemed in emergencies without much the stock prices running high, investors are staying away from the market and looking for investment options where they can make investments and whether they should go for lumpsum or SIP investments in the volatile this concern of many investors and the reddit user having a lumpsum amount to deploy and further to start SIPs, Minocha recommends that putting the lump sum of Rs 10 lakh into the market all at once is not a good idea and should be staggered even for the long-term investor as this protects an investor from short-term volatility in the market and allows for averaging out the purchase further adds that in practice, one may park the lumpsum in a liquid or ultra-short duration debt fund while using a Systematic Transfer Plan (STP) to invest in equity mutual funds automatically over the next 6-10 months, balancing the risks of timing the market and capital deployment.'For the SIP portion, a diversified approach can mean balancing growth and risk. The core holding would be a flexi-cap, alongside a mid-cap fund for extra long-term growth potential. To a small degree, small-cap can be employed for alpha generation,' said should always make an investment decision based on investment horizon, risk appetite, and goals : Recommendations, suggestions, views and opinions given by the experts are their own.

India to exempt Saudi fund from foreign portfolio investment rules, sources say
India has agreed to exempt Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund from a set of foreign portfolio investment rules to attract capital flows and strengthen financial ties between the two nations, two sources said. The rules, which club investments through various sovereign entities together and cap it at 10% in a single company, have prevented different subsidiaries of the Public Investment Fund from investing more in India, they said. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Gulf nation in April, when both the countries agreed to promote investment in areas including energy, infrastructure and pharmaceuticals. India is also negotiating a bilateral investment treaty with Saudi Arabia. Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Shooter Action MMO Crossout Play Now Undo The requirement to club investment from different sovereign entities together limits the ability of the Saudi fund and its subsidiaries to invest independently, the first source said, declining to be identified as they were not authorised to speak to the media. The exemption granted to the fund will allow its various arms to invest separately, enhancing their flexibility in deploying capital into Indian equity markets without breaching regulatory thresholds, he said. Live Events The Finance Ministry and the Saudi fund did not respond to requests for comment. The Public Investment Fund is one of the largest sovereign wealth funds globally with assets of about $925 billion under management. Its current exposure in India remains limited to $1.5 billion in Jio Platforms and $1.3 billion in Reliance Retail, according to its website. India, the world's third-largest oil importer, is looking to draw long-term capital from energy-rich Gulf nations, while Saudi Arabia is seeking to expand its investments in fast-growing economies as part of its Vision 2030 diversification strategy. To achieve these goals, both the nations formed a high-level task force in 2024 to expedite Riyadh's plan to invest $100 billion in India. "The progress made by this Task Force in areas such as taxation was also a major breakthrough for greater cooperation in the future," a joint statement said in April. "The two sides affirmed their desire to complete negotiations on the BIT at the earliest." Recent media reports indicated the government is also exploring tax relief measures for the Public Investment Fund to support India's infrastructure and energy sectors.
