Markets regulator Sebi on March 8 slapped a fine of Rs.10 lakh on ISG Traders for non-disclosure of acquisition of shares in Stone India Ltd.

The entity had violated Sebi SAST (Substantial Acquisition of Shares and Takeovers) Regulations by failing to make a public announcement after its shareholding in Stone India crossed 25 per cent.

Under Sebi regulations, entities whose stake in a listed company crosses 25 per cent have to make adequate disclosures to the exchanges.
