SEBI rejects Creditcapital's proposal for portfolio management services
Kolkata: The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has rejected an application by Creditcapital Asset Management Company, which manages the schemes of Taurus Mutual Fund, for registration as a portfolio manager.

The order, passed by A.K. Batra, Wholetime Member of SEBI, refers to the AMC's application sent in March this year, which, inter alia, named its directors. The regulator specifically referred to certain actions that were initiated or were pending against the applicant or these associates.

For the record, the directors are: Lalit Bhasin, R.K. Gupta, J.P. Kundra, P. Murari, M.G. Gupta and Jai Singh. The associates companies are: HB Securities, RRB Master Securities, Bhasin Share & Stock Brokers, Raja Ram Bhasin Share & Stock Brokers, HB Prima Capital and RRB Master Holdings. The regulator pointed out that there were enquiry proceedings against entities such as HB Securities and RRB Master Holdings, while a warning was issued against HB Portfolio, promoter of the applicant company. Lalit Bhasin, one of the directors of the latter, is also a director of HB Stockholdings, against whom enquiry proceedings were initiated.

The regulator further noted that the applicant company had failed to fulfil the networth criteria separately for mutual fund and portfolio management services. Incidentally, SEBI granted a personal hearing, which led to an appearance by R.K. Gupta on August 26.

Keeping in view the multiple legal proceedings against the company, SEBI has taken the view that a fresh registration (to act in a new capacity in the securities market) will not be desirable at the moment.
