Order in the matter of summary proceedings against the brokers who defaulted in payment of registration fees

Securities And Exchange Board Of India29 October 2009

Ratio decidendi

The rule this decision rests on

The Whole Time Member may suspend a stock broker's certificate of registration for non-payment of registration fees, under s. 19 of the SEBI Act, 1992 read with Regulation 33B(5) and (6) of the SEBI (Intermediaries) Regulations, 2008. The suspension runs for six months or until the outstanding fees are paid, whichever is later. Where enquiry officers appointed under the repealed 2002 Regulations have reported on defaulting brokers, the Whole Time Member may act on those reports by exercising the power under the 2008 Regulations, because the repeal of the earlier Regulations does not defeat the proceedings. Where a sub-broker is registered as such under a stock exchange subsidiary's circular, the suspension of the principal broker's registration extends automatically to that sub-broker's certificate.
