Jane Street seeks more time from Sebi to respond to July 3 interim order
'We are engaging constructively with Sebi and have sought an extension to respond to the interim order issued on July 3,' Jane Street group said in a statement.
The group said it is committed to conduct that upholds the integrity of India's capital markets and contributes to their continued development.
On July 3, the Sebi ordered the seizure of alleged Rs 4,843.57 crore 'illegal gains' Jane Street made through manipulative trading in Nifty futures. The markets regulator also barred the firm from participating in any securities trading until the amount was recovered. In its interim order, Sebi had given 21 days (from July 3) to Jane Street to file their reply or objections.
In response to the Sebi order, the US firm, on July 14, deposited Rs 4,843.57 crore in an escrow account with a lien in favour of the regulator. The group clarified that the deposit was made without prejudice to its legal rights and remedies, which it intends to pursue.
Following the deposit of the money, Sebi permitted Jane Street to resume operations on July 21. However, the US firm will stay away from trading in both the options and cash markets until it resolves several issues with the regulator, a report by Reuters had said.
Jane Street, a major player in India's derivatives space, had strongly rejected Sebi's allegations. In internal communications, the firm called the regulator's claims 'extremely inflammatory' and said it was deeply disappointed.

Acid attack victims to be a category in new compensation scheme: Sawant
Panaji: A new Goa victim compensation scheme, currently being prepared by state govt, will likely see some major changes. These include assistance to affected victims when an accused is acquitted due to lack of evidence, and a separate category for acid attack victims with enhanced compensation, said CM Pramod Sawant . State govt is preparing the scheme under Section 396 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. The powers to decide the award of compensation to the victim lie with the Goa state legal services authority as per the section. The aim of the scheme is 'to provide relief/assistance to the affected victim/dependent family member in case where the victim is a deceased minor and where the offender is acquitted due to insufficient/lack of evidence,' said Sawant. Since 2016, 17 victims of sexual assault and acid attacks received Rs 63 lakh as compensation. In cases where the victim or dependent is a minor and if the victim is under the care and protection of the child welfare committee, the amount of compensation shall be kept with the state or district legal services authority in the name of the victim until the victim turns 18 and shall be released to the victim thereafter, to ensure that it is utilised by the victim, said Sawant. Currently, when a recommendation is made by a court or an application is made by a victim or their dependent to the district collector, the district collector holds an inquiry and submits his findings to govt for awarding adequate compensation. Compensation sanctioned by govt is then disbursed to the victim by the district collector. State govt started the Goa victim compensation scheme, 2012, for providing monetary compensation to victims (or their dependents) who have suffered loss or injury due to crime and require rehabilitation. Under the scheme, the maximum compensation is 10 lakh. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Friendship Day wishes , messages and quotes !
