Capital markets regulator Sebi has confirmed its interim order banning 26 entities in a case related to tax evasion and money laundering through misuse of stock exchange mechanism. Detailed investigation of several others is on. The SEBI, via an interim order in May last year, had barred Pine Animation and 177 related entities, including the aforesaid 26, from the securities market for alleged tax evasion worth Rs420 crore. The order came after the watchdog spotted a huge jump in the traded volume and share price of Pine Animation on BSE during May 2013 to January 2015.
