Sebi to auction assets of KBCL

New Delhi: Capital markets regulator Sebi has lined up 19 properties of KBCL India Ltd for auction on July 16 to recover money illegally collected from investors. The move is part of Sebi’s effort to recover investors’ money. The regulator has initiated the process for the sale of assets after KBCL India Ltd, its directors Rakesh Kumar, Vishvnath Pratap Singh and Shashi Kant Mishra failed to refund the investors’ money.

The properties include land parcels and a plot in Uttar Pradesh and they will be auctioned at a reserve price of Rs 3.54 crore, according to a notice issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on Wednesday. Quikr Realty has been engaged by Sebi to assist it in the sale of properties, while C1 India has been appointed as the e-auction service provider. As per the notice, the regulator said bidders should make their own independent enquiries regarding the encumbrances, litigations, attachments and acquisition of liabilities of the property put on auction, prior to submitting their bid.
