In her appeal, she has alleged that a penalty was imposed on her after changing a law while the allegations of lapses in corporate governances against her were old.

Argument – The NSE decision to stop leave encashment and deferred bonus amounts to an interference in the internal matters of the exchanges.

It was also argued that no investor had to bear any loss and yet there are allegations against her.

The demand is to put bonus and leave encashment amount in a separate account instead of investor protection fund.

The former MD & CEO has challenged the February 11 order of the SEBi before the SAT.

 SEBI had imposed a penalty of Rs 3 cr against Ramkrishna

It had also ordered putting Rs 4.37cr amount related to leave encashment and deferred bonus in investor protection fund.

 In the Chitra Ramakrishna case, SAT has stayed conditional stay on SEBI order.

Chitra Ramakrishna has to deposit Rs 2 cr.
