Axis Securities was fined ₹10 lakh by SEBI for multiple regulatory violations, including discrepancies in reporting, mishandling client funds, improper penalty allocation, and inadequate grievance redressal. The penalty came after SEBI’s inspection covering the period from April 2021 to November 2022. The violations highlighted by SEBI reflect lapses in compliance, such as inaccurate reporting, failure to handle client funds properly, and transferring penalties to clients rather than absorbing them. This regulatory action is part of SEBI's ongoing efforts to ensure compliance and safeguard investor interests in the securities market.
