This auction marks a significant step towards rectifying the financial misconduct and seeking restitution for the investors affected by Swar Agrotech's illegal activities.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), in a bold and innovative move, will conduct an auction to recover funds raised by Swar Agrotech India Ltd. through illicit schemes. Through a captivating auction, SEBI will offer two alluring properties at a reserve price surpassing Rs 1 crore, showcasing its unwavering commitment to safeguarding the public from illicit schemes.
Inviting enthusiastic participants SEBI announced an exclusive online auction, scheduled from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on August 7, where these properties will be unveiled. Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Uttar Pradesh, these coveted land parcels are poised to capture the imagination of astute investors.
