Sebi issues administrative warning to Paytm over related-party transactions with PPBL

Posted on 16 July 202416 July 2024 by Pradeep Jayan

Market regulator Sebi has issued administrative warning to  One 97 Communications, the parent company of Paytm, the company informed stock exchanges late evening on July 15. The warning letter is over related party transactions entered by the company with Paytm Payments Bank for FY22, which the regulator said did not have the approval of either the audit committee or the shareholders.

Regulator Sebi has observed several non-compliances in due course of examination, the filing said. The warning letter from Sebi highlights that OCL transacted with Paytm Payments Bank over and above the limits of approved resolution to the tune of Rs 360 crore as services availed as well as rendered.

The Company believes it has consistently acted in compliance with Regulation 23 read with Regulation 4(1)(h) of the SEBI Listing Regulations, including any amendments and updates to these regulations over time

Sebi has viewed the violations very seriously and in the warning letter, the regulator said, “You are, therefore, warned to be careful in future and improve your compliance standards to avoid recurrence of such instances in future, failing which appropriate enforcement action would be initiated by the law.”

In January this year, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) slapped major business restrictions on Paytm Payments Bank Limited, and effectively ended a bunch of its core operations, due to non-compliance. Paytm’s business has taken a hit since then.
