Sebi said to have accepted NSE's consent applications
Mumbai: The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has accepted the settlement applications filed by the National Stock Exchange to resolve pending regulatory investigations, potentially paving the way for the long-delayed initial public offering (IPO) of India's largest stock exchange, according to a person familiar with the matter. Sebi is likely to issue a formal no-objection certificate (NOC) by the end of this month, the person said, adding that this would allow the NSE to proceed with filing its Draft Red Herring Prospectus for the IPO. NSE has offered to pay around ₹1,400 crore to settle pending cases in the Supreme Court. Under Sebi's settlement rules, entities can resolve probes by paying a monetary amount without admitting or denying guilt. 'The fact that an application has been filed for around ₹1,400 crore indicates that the two parties have arrived at a settlement amount. This, in turn, will clear the decks for Sebi to issue the NOC to NSE by month-end," the person said, requesting anonymity. A consent order is passed by Sebi when a regulated entity pays a certain fee without accepting or denying guilt. The filing of the consent applications was preceded by several rounds of discussions between Sebi and NSE over the settlement amount, among other issues. The settlement applications relate to multiple regulatory investigations, including the co-location and dark fibre cases. NSE and Sebi did not immediately respond to queries on the acceptance of the applications. NSE's IPO has been on hold since 2016. Once the NOC is received, NSE is expected to file its prospectus with the regulator. The price of unlisted NSE shares has surged from ₹1,500 to ₹2,300 in the past three months on hopes of Sebi issuing an NOC for the proposed listing. Another potential roadblock—Sebi's earlier insistence that stock exchanges must separate ownership of their clearing corporations—also appears to have been removed. Sebi chairperson Tuhin Kanta Pandey said at a press conference on 24 June that the regulator had put the proposal on hold due to feasibility concerns. He also said the regulatory clearance for NSE's listing was not contingent on these norms being implemented. NSE Clearing Ltd (NCL) and Indian Clearing Corp. Ltd (ICCL), wholly owned subsidiaries of NSE and BSE respectively, handle trade settlements and provide counterparty risk protection. NCL clears over 95% of trades in the equity cash and equity derivatives segments in India, according to Ashishkumar Chauhan, managing director and chief executive, NSE, during the company's March quarter earnings call. 'Even the clearing corporation hurdle has been put aside," said the person cited earlier. The co-location case stems from allegations dating back to 2015, when whistleblowers claimed some brokers received preferential access to NSE's trading systems by logging in early at its co-location facility. The system allowed these brokers to gain a trading advantage by receiving market data fractions of a second ahead of others. In 2019, Sebi issued multiple enforcement orders against NSE, its former officials, and brokers including OPG Securities. However, in September 2024, the regulator said it had found insufficient evidence of collusion between NSE and OPG. The dark fibre case involved allegations that certain brokers accessed NSE's co-location systems via faster, unauthorized fibre-optic lines. The regulator had imposed a ₹7 crore penalty on NSE in 2022, which was later overturned by the Securities Appellate Tribunal after NSE challenged it. Sebi has since filed two appeals in the Supreme Court—in September 2023 and again in February 2024—against the SAT order. These appeals are still pending, and NSE has been asked to respond.

DU teachers ask UGC to extend deadline for submission of documents for OBC (NCL) applicants
A group of Delhi University teachers have written to University Grants Commission (UGC) chairperson Vineet Joshi seeking directions to the university administration to extend the deadline for submission of documents by applicants, particularly for applicants from the Other Backward Classes (Non-Creamy Layer), for undergraduate programmes by 15-20 days. In their letter on Sunday, the teachers said that many OBC (NCL) applicants had approached them saying they are facing issues in renewing their certificates and are apprehensive about missing the application deadline. As in the previous years, the DU administration has in its recent admission bulletin directed OBC (NCL) candidates to submit their families' income certificates issued after March 31, before the end of the first phase of admissions, the deadline for which is yet to be declared. One of the signatories, Anand Prakash, executive member of Delhi University Teachers' Association (DUTA) and former member of the Delhi government's Commission for Other Backward Classes, said, 'Many students have reached out to us saying that they need more time to submit their certificates.' A university official said that the applicants are given 'ample time' to submit their forms. 'We follow the guidelines laid down by the DoPT (Department of Personnel and Training). The updated certificates are required in order to determine whether the candidates are eligible,' the official said. The letter, which was submitted by Mr. Prakash, along with Ashok Kumar, former DUTA executive member, Ram Kishore Yadav, member, Academic Council, and Sarvendra Kumar, former member of the Delhi government's OBC Commission, stated: 'As per estimates, nearly 10% of the eligible OBC students miss out on admission opportunities at DU each year due to this procedural bottleneck [the requirement to submit income certificates issued after March 31 before the end of the first phase of admissions].' When reached for comment, the UGC Chairperson did not offer a comment.
