Clamps down on potato investment scheme
The HinduClamping down on a bizarre scheme, promising returns of up to 100 per cent through investments in purchase of potatoes, the Securities and Exchange Board of India, on Wednesday, asked the operator of this scheme not to raise any further money from the public. “Sumangal Industries has to be prevented from carrying on further with its activity related to the collective investment scheme without obtaining due registration from SEBI in accordance with law,” the regulator said in an order. The company has been directed not to launch any other collective investment scheme without SEBI’s approval. SEBI began investigating the matter after it came across a newspaper Thereafter in October, 2012, the market regulator informed the company that no entity could carry on or sponsor or launch a collective investment scheme without obtaining a certificate from it. It also denied that it was running a collective investment scheme and submitted that the question of obtaining a certificate of registration from SEBI did not arise.
