The Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) on Friday dismissed Reliance Industries' (RIL) appeal against a Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) order imposing a ₹30 lakh penalty for violating Prohibition of Insider Trading (PIT) Regulations.

In its June 2022 adjudicating order, Sebi found RIL in breach of PIT Regulations for failing to disclose details of a potential investment deal with Facebook in Jio Platforms promptly.

"We find the appellants in violation of Principle 4, Schedule A of the PIT Regulations and uphold the Sebi order," said the SAT bench, presided over by Justice PS Dinesh Kumar.

The case relates to a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement signed between RIL and Facebook in September 2019, followed by a non-binding term sheet on March 4, 2020, for Facebook's investment in Jio Platforms.
