SEBI Fines MCX Rs 25 Lakh Over Payment Disclosure Lapses
Imagine a company, MCX, that runs a market.
They paid a lot of money to another company, 63 Moons, for software.
The payments were very large, almost double their yearly profit, but MCX didn't tell anyone about them right away.
The people in charge of watching the market, SEBI, said MCX should have told everyone sooner.
Because they didn't, SEBI fined MCX a sum of money, which is like a punishment for not following the rules.
