## Sebi Notifies New Settlement Rules
Markets regulator Sebi has notified new regulations providing a revised formula for calculating settlement amounts and a fast-track route for cases involving settlement amounts of up to ₹10 lakh.
## New Settlement Formula
The new formula for calculating the settlement amount will be based on a base amount linked to the minimum penalty prescribed for the violation under securities laws.
## Disgorgement of Wrongful Gains
Sebi will separately disgorgement of wrongful gains, loss avoided or loss caused to investors, removing the existing double counting of such amounts while calculating settlement terms.
## Fast-Track Settlement Route
Sebi introduced a fast-track settlement route based on both monetary thresholds and the nature of violations, including certain disclosure-related violations.
## Monetary Threshold Fast-Track
Under the monetary threshold-based route, cases where the settlement amount does not exceed ₹10 lakh will move directly from the internal committee to a panel of whole-time members.
## Violation-Based Fast-Track
For violation-based fast-track settlements, Sebi will issue a notice offering the entity an opportunity to settle by paying the amount specified in the notice.
## Key takeaway

Sebi has updated settlement rules to calculate amounts without double counting and fast-track cases up to ₹10 lakh.
