Mumbai: The market regulator of India reopened an investigation into the trade on two top executives of Indusind Bank, according to two people who are aware of the case, after the first investigation earlier this month gave them a clean shit. The renewed investigation by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) comes after a forensic report by Grant Thornton allegedly found that these managers owned and traded on pricing information on serious accounting irregularities before it became public. The forensic report is a result of an audit undertaken by the bank’s board in the case of the Banking Regulator Reserve Bank of India (RBI), after it found inconsistencies in the accounting of internal derivative trades late last year. The report was presented to the board by Grant Thornton on April 26. However, according to the first person quoted earlier, Sebi should not yet get a copy.

Sebi chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey said on Thursday at the sidelines of an Assocham event. “Whatever Sebi has to do … Whatever Sebi’s task is, Sebi does.” According to the people quoted earlier, the SEBI investigation may even investigate whether the bank’s board was also aware of the issues highlighted in the forensic report. “In light of new evidence, if the council was aware of the revelations of the stock trading of its managers, we must investigate whether he does not make the necessary revelations,” said the first person quoted earlier. Questions by email to Sebi’s spokesman remained unanswered until per -time.

In April, the bank saw the exit of two of its top executives – CEO Sumant Kathpalia and Deputy CEO Arun Khurana. Earlier this month, Mint reported that Sebi closed the Insider trade investigation after finding that these drivers made adequate disclosures before trading in shares.

Bank chairman Sunil Mehta said in a call to analysts on Wednesday that the board of directors suspected fraud by important employees in its accounting and reporting departments that led to the recent financial bloating with the private sector. He also said that the board was not judged on the multiple accounting lapse, not even at the time of the approval of financial results. The suspicion of fraud comes after the investigation reports on the accounting of internal derivative trade were received, Mehta said.
