New Delhi, 3 February 2021 Wednesday

Market regulator SEBI on Wednesday banned Future Group founder Kishore Biyani and his brother Anil from operating in the market capital for a year. Biyani has been banned following an insider trading in shares of his retail company Future Retail. The regulatory body SEBI said the two brothers traded shares of Future Retail through a group company based on unpublished price sensitive information prior to the demerger of some of Future Retail's businesses, which boosted the company's share price.

An investigation by SEBI has revealed that the Biani brothers had joined Future Corporate Resources Pvt. Opened a trading account for the named entity, which traded in shares of Future Retail before the demerger decision was announced. Apart from this, SEBI has also banned trading of shares of Future Retail's Biyani for 2 years.

Market regulator SEBI has also slapped fines on Future Corporate Resources and the two Biani brothers. A fine of Rs 1 crore has been imposed on each of them, which has to be repaid in 45 days. The order has been passed by Sebi's full-time member Anant Barua. The market regulator has charged Biyani and three other companies with misappropriation of Rs. More than Rs 20 crore has been asked to be returned.
