02 Aug 2024 CW Team

In its order, SEBI stated that Omaxe and its executives were found guilty of inflating revenue figures, thereby misleading investors and stakeholders about the company's financial health. The investigation revealed that the company had engaged in fraudulent practices to show a healthier balance sheet and profit margins.

SEBI's probe uncovered that Omaxe had not only overstated its revenues but also concealed critical information from investors, which led to a misrepresentation of the company's true financial position. This action is a part of SEBI's ongoing efforts to ensure transparency and accountability in the securities market and to protect investor interests.

The regulator has directed Omaxe and the barred individuals to cease all activities related to the securities market for the duration of the ban. Additionally, SEBI has ordered the disgorgement of wrongful gains, if any, and imposed monetary penalties on the concerned parties.

Rohtas Goel and Mohit Goel have been held primarily responsible for the discrepancies and have been instructed to cooperate fully with SEBI in further investigations. SEBI has also cautioned investors to exercise due diligence while dealing with the company's securities in the future.

This ruling by SEBI underscores the regulatory body's commitment to maintaining the integrity of the securities market and ensuring that companies adhere to fair practices. The ban on Omaxe and its executives serves as a stern reminder to other entities about the importance of transparency and honesty in financial reporting.

Omaxe has not yet issued a statement regarding SEBI's order. The impact of this ban is expected to be significant, affecting the company's operations and its ability to raise funds from the capital market.
