Sebi Investigates Synoptics Technologies: Allegations of IPO Proceeds Misuse

Synoptics Technologies and its promoters remain barred from the securities market pending an investigation into allegations of siphoning off IPO funds. Sebi's interim order claims irregularities in IPO expenses, leading to prohibitions on Synoptics and FOCL, the lead manager. Further regulatory actions await Sebi's ongoing probe results.

The capital markets regulator Sebi has announced that Synoptics Technologies and its promoters will remain banned from the securities market until the conclusion of an ongoing investigation into alleged misappropriation of IPO proceeds.

The company's promoters, Jatin Shah, Jagmohan Manilal Shah, and Janvi Jatin Shah, along with Synoptics, have been barred amid allegations of financial misconduct.

Sebi's interim order disclosed procedural irregularities and reported a large-scale diversion of IPO funds, leading to severe regulatory actions against both Synoptics and its lead manager, FOCL. The investigation, sparked by complaints following the IPO closure, is still underway.
