--SEBI: Examining Jane Street request to lift some conditional restrictions

MUMBAI – The Securities and Exchange Board of India had confirmed that global proprietary trading firm Jane Street has deposited INR 48.44 billion to an escrow account in favour of the regulator. Earlier this month, SEBI in its interim order had directed the firm to deposit this amount, which the regulator alleged were unlawful gains made by Jane Street group entities via index manipulation.

Earlier in the day, Moneycontrol.com had reported, quoting sources, that Jane Street deposited the amount on Friday. As per the SEBI's interim order, the ban on Jane Street over trading securities in India will be lifted once the firm deposits the amount. However, SEBI did not clarify in Monday's release if the firm is now free to trade in India.

Jane Street has also requested SEBI to lift some of the conditional restrictions imposed in the interim order, according to a press release from the market regulator. "This request is currently under examination by SEBI in accordance with the directions of the interim order," the release said. SEBI did not provide any further details of Jane Street's request. End
