SEBI\u2019s \u20b94,800 crore disgorgement from Jane Street over alleged market manipulation won\u2019t benefit affected retail traders due to the lack of a restitution framework in India.<\/p>\n

Indian retail investors hit by alleged manipulative trades by Jane Street will receive no direct compensation, despite SEBI impounding \u20b94,800 crore through a disgorgement order, as India lacks a structured restitution mechanism. The regulatory proceeds will instead be routed to the Investor Protection and Education Fund (IPEF) or the Consolidated Fund of India, depriving victims of financial redress.<\/p>\n

This stands in stark contrast to regimes in the US and EU, where regulators are empowered to return clawed-back gains to identified victims. In India, restitution remains at SEBI\u2019s discretion and has been rarely exercised post-2006, say legal experts.<\/p>\n

According to Vaibhav Kakkar, Senior Partner at Saraf & Partners, SEBI’s powers under IPEF regulations technically allow restitution, but only where the regulator deems fit. Kinjal Champaneria, Partner at Solomon & Co, added that courts and tribunals can direct such payments, though the mechanism remains highly underutilized.<\/p>\n

The lack of a framework for identifying affected investors and calculating proportional losses further complicates any direct relief. Market observers note that SEBI\u2019s calculations often face legal challenges, limiting restitution scope.<\/p>\n
