Order in respect of Ravraj Impex Limited

WTM/RKA/EFD/ 64 /2015 BEFORE THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE BOARD OF INDIA ORDER UNDER SECTION 11B OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE BOARD OF INDIA ACT, 1992 In respect of Ravraj Impex Limited 1. Ravraj Impex Limited (hereinafter referred to as “Ravraj Impex” /”company”) is a company incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956 having its registered office at Gala No. G, Maranbasri Industrial Estate, Ground Floor, Govandi Station Road, Deonar, Mumbai – 400088. The shares of the company are listed on Bombay Stock Exchange Limited (“BSE”). 2. SEBI vide its circular no. CIR/OIAE/1/2012 dated August 13, 2012 directed all companies whose securities are listed on stock exchanges to obtain SCORES authentication by September 14, 2012. However, since certain companies including Ravraj Impex did not obtain SCORES authentication within the time period specified in the aforementioned circular, a public notice was issued on January 13, 2013, advising inter alia the companies to obtain SCORES authentication within seven days from the date of the advertisement, failing which SEBI would be constrained to initiate appropriate enforcement actions.

However, the company still failed to obtain SCORES authentication. It was also observed that five investor complaints were pending against the company. SEBI vide its letter dated February 15, 2013 once again advised the company/managing director to obtain SCORES authentication and to redress the investor complaints pending against it but the said letter returned undelivered. 3. Since the company did not obtain SCORES authentication and failed to redress five investor grievances, SEBI issued a Show Cause Notice dated March 28, 2013 (hereinafter referred to as “SCN”) to the company calling upon it to show cause as to why suitable directions including direction to restrain it from accessing the securities market for a specified period should not be issued under section 11B of the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 (“SEBI Act”). The SCN issued to the company was sent on its registered office address but it was returned undelivered. On January 3, 2014 and September 4, 2014, the SCN was again sent through Registered Post Acknowledgement Due to the registered office address of the company but on both the occasions the was again returned undelivered.

4. It was observed from the website of Ministry of Corporate Affairs (“MCA”) that there is no change in the registered office address of the company. Further, the company has defaulted in filing Form DIN3/ Form 32 with Registrar of Companies (“RoC”) and therefore, the details of directors of the company were not available. Order in respect of Ravraj Impex Limited

5. Thereafter, on September 9, 2014 the SCN was served on the company by way of affixture at its registered office address. An opportunity of personal hearing was granted to the company on October 28, 2014 and a notice in that regard was sent to the registered office address of the Company on October 9, 2014 which was served on the company by way of affixture. However the company chose not to appear for the personal hearing on the scheduled date. 6. I note that sufficient opportunities to appear for hearing have been granted to the company and it is not keen to avail the same. I further note that the company has not even filed any written reply/submission to the SCN. In view of these facts and circumstances, I deem it appropriate to decide the matter on the basis of material available on record. 7. I note that as on June 1, 2015, the company had not obtained SCORES authentication, as required under SEBI circular dated August 13, 2012. I further note that as on June 1, 2015 all the investor complaints as indicated in SCN were pending against the company for redressal. The details of three such complaints are mentioned in the following Table: Details of the complaints Sr. Complaint (New) Date of Nature of Complaint no. Registration No. Receipt 1 SEBIP/MH01/9115093/1 Non-receipt of shares after Transfer 18/12/2001

2 SEBIP/MH02/9115541/1 25/01/2002 Non-receipt of shares after Transfer

3 SEBIP/MH03/9110882/1 08/09/2003 Non-receipt of shares after Transfer

8. I note that the investor complaints are pending unresolved since the year 2001. In addition to the obligations under the provisions of Companies Act, 1956/2013, the company is also under an obligation to redress all investor complaints in terms of the advice/directions of SEBI, in view of the provisions of section 11 of the SEBI Act. However, the company has not shown any tenacity in resolving the investor grievances and in spite of repeated advice of SEBI, the said investor grievances are pending till date. 9. Failure to redress investor grievances by a listed company adversely affects the confidence of investors in the securities market. In light of the foregoing, I am of the view that it is a fit case to issue appropriate directions under section 11B of the SEBI Act against the company as contemplated in the SCN issued to it. I, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred upon me under section 19 of the SEBI Act read with sections 11 and 11B thereof, hereby restrain and prohibit Ravraj Impex Limited from accessing the securities market and from buying, selling or dealing in securities, directly or indirectly, in whatsoever manner, till it obtains SCORES authentication in terms of the SEBI circular dated August 13, 2012 and resolves all the investor grievances pending against it. The aforesaid direction is without prejudice to any other action that may be taken against the company and its directors in accordance with law. 10. As the company is in default of filing Form DIN3 / Form 32 with the RoC, a copy of this Order shall be forwarded to the RoC, Mumbai for information and action that may be deemed appropriate in respect of failure of Ravraj Impex Limited. 11. This Order shall come into force with immediate effect. A copy of this Order shall also be served upon the depositories and stock exchanges for necessary action.
