SEBI Settlement Order for Subsidiary Pulin Comtrade, Rs. 9.1 Lakh Penalty
SMC Global Securities' subsidiary, Pulin Comtrade Limited, received a SEBI settlement order for NSEL-related transactions. This involves a ₹9.1 lakh settlement amount and a six-month voluntary debarment from proprietary trading and new clients in the commodity segment. The settlement resolves proceedings under the NSEL Settlement Scheme 2025.
The settlement is for a subsidiary and involves a relatively small financial amount. The debarment is voluntary and for a limited period. The core business operations of SMC Global Securities Limited are not expected to be significantly impacted.
The settlement order resolves past issues for the subsidiary, avoiding further proceedings. While there is a financial penalty and a debarment period, it is a resolution rather than a new negative action. The impact on SMC Global itself is minimal as it's a subsidiary matter and the settlement amount is relatively small.
SMC Global Securities Limited announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pulin Comtrade Limited (formerly SMC Comtrade Limited), has received a Settlement Order from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) under the National Spot Exchange Limited (NSEL) Settlement Scheme 2025.
The settlement pertains to alleged non-compliance with regulatory framework concerning transactions facilitated by Pulin Comtrade Limited on the NSEL platform. As part of the settlement, Pulin Comtrade Limited will undergo a six-month voluntary debarment from trading in its proprietary capacity and from taking up new clients in the commodity segment. Additionally, a settlement amount of ₹9,10,780 has been paid.
The SEBI order, received on 11th September 2026, resolves proceedings related to paired contracts traded on NSEL. The NSEL Settlement Scheme 2025 was introduced following a directive from the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) to SEBI to consider a settlement scheme. The scheme provided an opportunity for brokers against whom SEBI had passed orders in the NSEL matter to settle violations related to securities laws. A total of 91 entities availed the benefit of this scheme.
