ED probe finds funds were ploughed into group's jewellery, entertainment and hospitality businesses
Rose Valley is one of the biggest money businesses after Sahara.
While Rose Valley claimed that it was mobilising funds for real estate business, Sebi came to the conclusion that the company was in fact running a Collective Investment Scheme and did not seek market regulator's permission, mandatory for these products.
In a fresh ponzi clampdown, Sebi on Wednesday barred Kolkata-based Rose Valley group from raising public money in the name of 'holiday membership' scheme, through which it is estimated to have garnered over Rs 1,000 crore (Rs 10 billion) without necessary regulatory approvals.
The case is related to a probe by Securities and Exchange Board of India over allegations that Rose Valley had raised money by issuing debentures without complying with the norms.
