Jane Street Back in Action After Depositing ₹4,843.5 Cr as Ordered by SEBI

Jane Street Group, a global trading firm, can now resume trading in Indian markets after depositing ₹4,843.5 crore in an escrow account, as directed by SEBI’s interim order on July 3, 2025.

SEBI had earlier barred the firm from market activity under Clause 62.2 due to alleged manipulative trades. As per Clause 62.11, the restrictions are lifted once the amount is deposited with a lien in SEBI’s favour. 

However, Jane Street is barred from using any trading strategy flagged as unfair under SEBI regulations.

The regulator’s investigation under the SEBI Act, 1992, is still ongoing and may take 6–7 months.
