Sebi relief to Reliance

Markets watchdog Sebi has disposed of adjudication proceedings without imposing any penalty on Reliance Industries in a matter related to alleged incorrect disclosure of diluted earnings per share in its financial results more than 13 years ago.

Sebi decided not to impose any penalty for the alleged violations mainly on two grounds, including that the amendment to the relevant law that made incorrect disclosure of information by a listed company punishable came into force prospectively from March 2019.
