New Delhi: Markets watchdog Sebi is in discussions to finalise the standard operating procedure (SOP) for applying settlement regulations for cases amid rising number of settlement matters.

Besides, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) is looking at having uniformity in applying the settlement formula for settling cases.

Sebi Whole Time Member Kamlesh Chandra Varshney on Sunday said the regulator is working on the standard operating procedure for applying the settlement regulations.

“It is work in progress... it is in final discussions,” he said.

Under Sebi norms, subject to various conditions, a matter can be settled without admitting or denying the facts and conclusions of law.

On the sidelines of a conference in the national capital, Varshney also said Sebi is looking at how to have consistency in applying the settlement formula.

“Formula also has certain value to be given. Now different people should give same value for same situation in different cases... basically uniformity across cases... we will work on that,” he said.
