What is the Sahara-SEBI dispute?
Actually, this dispute of Sahara is from the year 2009. Sahara's two companies Sahara Housing Corporation Limited and Sahara India Real Estate Corporation have offered to bring their IPO. As soon as the IPO came, Sahara's mistakes started getting exposed. SEBI saw that Sahara had raised Rs 24,000 crore in a wrong way. After this, investigation started and SEBI found irregularities. After this, SEBI asked Sahara to return the investors' money with interest. But this did not happen and then the matter got worse.
