SEBI fines Sunil Lulla for violating market rules in Eros International case 50 lakh fined

Date:

Capital markets regulator SEBI has slapped promoter and former MD of Eros International Media Sunil Arjan Lulla with a fine of Rs. A fine of 50 lakhs has been imposed. In June 2023, SEBI passed an interim order barring five entities, including Eros International and its managing director (MD) Sunil Lulla, from the securities market in a case over possible diversion of funds based on prima facie findings by the regulator.

The regulator barred Sunil Lulla from holding the position of director or key manager in any listed company, including Eros or its subsidiaries or SEBI-registered intermediaries.

Subsequently, Sunil Lulla appealed to the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) against SEBI’s interim order. However, the tribunal upheld the regulator’s order in August 2023.

In October 2023, the regulator confirmed the ban against them.

The market watchdog noted that Sunil Lulla failed to comply with SEBI’s directions and did not resign as a director of Eros International Media, and allegedly failed to comply with the regulator’s order of action, which was initiated in his regard.
