Markets regulator Sebi today imposed a fine of Rs 6 lakh on Eduexel Infotainment for allegedly failing to redress investor complaints within the prescribed time.
Eduexel Infotainment, which is listed on BSE, had allegedly failed to redress 10 investor complaints pending against it in the Sebi Complaints Redress System (SCORES), even after having been called upon by the regulator in writing to redress the grievances within the time specified.
As per Sebi, listed companies are required to take action on investor complaints within a stipulated time.
