02 Dec 2024 CW Team

The settlement order followed K Raheja Investment Managers' proposal to resolve the proceedings initiated against it without "admitting or denying the findings of facts and conclusions of law." Sebi initiated the proceedings for alleged breaches of REIT regulations related to the computation and disclosure of net distributable cash flows (NDCF) at the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) level.

The notice issued by Sebi on August 24, 2023, accused K Raheja Investment Managers of errors in calculating NDCF figures, as well as incomplete and incorrect disclosures in half-yearly and annual reports. Furthermore, it was alleged that distributions were made to unit holders despite negative cash balances in the SPV, with funds borrowed to facilitate these distributions.

K Raheja Investment Managers submitted a settlement application to Sebi to resolve the matter. Following revisions to the proposed settlement terms, the High Powered Advisory Committee (HPAC) approved the settlement. Upon remittance of the Rs 68.73 lakh fee, Sebi's adjudicating officer, Asha Shetty, disposed of the proceedings.
