SEBI said that SBI Mutual Fund filed a settlement application in terms of SEBI without admitting or denying the findings of fact and conclusion of law. Instead, the fund house has proposed SEBI to settle the proceedings.
The market regulator has clarified that they will not initiate any enforcement action against the fund house for alleged defaults.
