Hours after an official of securities market regulator SEBI said that
ICICI Bank has filed for settlement through consent mechanism, the
private lender denied filing any such application.
The company, however, said that it has submitted its response to the show cause notice issued by SEBI.
"We
have submitted our response to the show cause notice issued by SEBI. We
would like to clarify that we have not filed any application for
settlement," ICICI Bank said in a regulatory filing on Tuesday.
Earlier
in the day, answering questions on the issue after SEBI's annual board
meet, SEBI chief Ajay Tyagi said: "On the ICICI (issue), to my
information some reply has come from the bank and the earlier CEO
(Kochhar), so, we will examine that..."
On the plea for
settlement through consent mechanism, Tyagi claimed ignorance. However,
another SEBI official present at the conference confirmed the request.
The
stock market regulator provides for an out-of-the-court settlement
procedure to settle cases -- consent mechanism -- which does not warrant
admission or denial of the alleged wrongdoing.
SEBI had issued a
show cause notice to ICICI Bank and its MD and CEO Kochhar regarding
conflict of interest in lending to Videocon Group, which has had
business tie-ups with her husband Deepak Kochhar.
Currently, former Supreme Court judge B.N. Srikrishna (Retd) is heading an independent enquiry into the allegations.
The
bank on May 30 announced that its Board has decided to institute a
"comprehensive enquiry" to look into an anonymous whistleblower's
complaint alleging that Kochhar had not adhered to provisions relating
to "code of conduct" of the bank.
In June, Kochhar decided to
proceed on leave and subsequently, Sandeep Bakhshi was appointed as the
wholetime Director and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the bank.
