SEBI Disposes Proceedings Against Fino Payments Bank for Disclosure Lapses
Fino Payments Bank settled SEBI proceedings for disclosure violations related to employee fraud, paying ₹5,88,921.45. SEBI disposed of the case without admission or denial of guilt.
The financial penalty of ₹5,88,921.45 is insignificant for a bank of this size, and the resolution of regulatory overhang is beneficial, leading to a low overall impact.
The disposal of SEBI proceedings, even with a penalty, is a positive outcome as it removes regulatory uncertainty and potential further action against the bank.
Fino Payments Bank Limited announced that the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has disposed of adjudication proceedings against the Bank through a settlement order dated October 06, 2025. The proceedings stemmed from a Show Cause Notice (SCN) dated October 08, 2024, alleging violations of SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, regarding timely and complete disclosure of a material event. * The SCN alleged that the Bank failed to disclose material events concerning frauds perpetrated by its employees, specifically 15 complaints regarding fraudulent investment schemes. * It was observed that the event's value exceeded materiality thresholds, and the company's share price declined significantly during the relevant period. * The Bank allegedly failed to disclose KPMG's investigation report received on November 08, 2023, within 24 hours and did not provide subsequent updates. * Fino Payments Bank filed a Settlement Application (No. 8256/2024) proposing to settle the proceedings without admission or denial of findings of fact and conclusions of law. * SEBI's Internal Committee recommended an indicative settlement amount of ₹5,88,921.45, which the Bank agreed to pay. * The Bank remitted the settlement amount of ₹5,88,921.45 on September 16, 2025. * Consequently, SEBI disposed of the adjudication proceedings, with the settlement order coming into force with immediate effect.
