SEBI suspends CSE member
Kolkata: SEBI has suspended B.D. Daga, member of Calcutta Stock Exchange, for irregularities while dealing in the stock of MP Investment & Consultancy Services (MPICS).

The order, passed by the SEBI Chairman, G.N. Bajpai, is based on an investigation into the pattern of trading in the counter, which revealed that provisions of SEBI Act, 1992, and a couple of other legislations were contravened.

The SEBI probe found that there were many cross deals (wherein both the buyer and seller belonged to the broker) with complete matching of the order price, quantity and order time. It was also established that there were large-scale transactions only with a view to earn brokerage.

Meanwhile, the CSE on Monday has suspended two counters - Awdhan Trading Co and Bihar Mercantile Union - which have been delisted from the exchange. A notice sent to members mentioned that both counters have been removed from the official quotations.
