SEBI-Sahara OFCD case: Optionally fully-convertible debentures- Meaning explained

What is Debenture?

From the earlier Debt vs. Equity article, you know there are two (legit) ways to arrange money for starting or expanding a company

TypemeaningExample
DebtBorrow money from someone. Offer him interest rate and guarantee to repay the principal after xyz date.Bank loansBorrowing from friends, relatives, moneylendersBondsDebentures
EquityTake money from someone and offer him part ownership of the company.IPO-> Share.Venture CapitalistAngel Investor
  • Suppose a Telefilm company is producing a new bogus saas-bahu series.
  • The company needs additional finance of 100 Crore rupees just for the make-up, jewelry and expensive sarees of those actresses.
  • Company can approach the bank for a loan, but problems: 1) terms and conditions are heavy 2) the SARFAESI act (with its new amendments)
  • So, it’s better just to borrow from public.
  • Whoever gives you Rs.100, you give him a piece of paper titled “blah blah blah..these are the terms and conditions, repayment dates, interest rates etc.”
  • This piece of paper is called Debenture.
  • In this case, you need 100 crores, meaning print 1 crore papers (debentures) each worth Rs.100.
  • Whoever holds such paper units is called Debenture holder.
  • The cash thus collected is a loan for the company. (=debt)

Difference between Bonds and Debentures?

Overall, the principle behind Bonds and Debentures is same: They offer fixed interest rate + principal repaid at the specified date.

1.Bond2.Debenture
Issued byUnion GovernmentState GovernmentPSUsIssued by companies.
  • Second difference: the different rates of Stamp Duty applied on each of them.
  • Third difference:  The interest rate offered by Debenture is (usually) higher than Government Bonds. Because Government more likely to repay = no need to seduce customers with higher interest rate.

Types of Debentures

Based on ‘convertibility’ the Debentures are of two types

1.Convertible debenturesThey can be converted into shares of the company on the expiry of xyz date.
2.Non-Convertible DebenturesThey cannot be converted into shares.
  • When debenture is converted into shares, it means debt holder becomes an equity holder.
  • Both debt vs equity have their own advantages and disadvantages. We’ve discussed it in the earlier article (click ME)
  • But by and large, from the investor’s point of view, Debt is safer than Equity.

What is Optionally fully-convertible debentures (OFCD)?

  • These debentures can be converted into shares, when debt holder (investor) wishes (after expiry of xyz pre-decided date).
  • But the “rate”, will be decided by the company e.g. 20 debentures =>1 share.

From investor’s view, this “option” to convert Debenture into Shares is good ONLY IF

  1. Company is likely to make huge profit (so you, the shareholder can earn more dividend.) OR
  2. Company’s share-price is likely to rise in the share market (then you can sell shares to third-party and make profit).

BUT if the Company is going bankrupt, then it is better to avoid converting the Debenture into shares.  Because when a company is liquidated (i.e. its assets sold off),  the Debenture holders get the money before the shareholders.

It means Sahara OFCD is a bit tricky game. Investors should have some knowledge and understanding of share prices, company performance etc. else they could lose money. (or end up not getting maximum profit out of their investment). Now let’s move to the SEBI-SAHARA case.

2008-09: The game begins

Two firms of Sahara Conglomerate:

  1. Sahara Housing Investment Corporation
  2. Sahara India Real Estate Corporation. (aka Sahara Commodities)

These ^two companies Issued OFCD to collect money from investors.

~23 million people, mostly from villages and small towns subscribed to this scheme. They invested ~24,000 crores rupees in these OFCDs of SAHARA.

SEBIYou (SAHARA) have violated rules. If OFCDs are issued then whole process should be completed within 10 working days, but here you continue collecting money from people for more than two years!
SAHARAThis fund-raising was in the form of a private placement. I.e. we offered the schemes only to our select clients, this wasn’t meant a “Public Offer”! So what’s your problem?
SEBIDude if this is private placement, then maximum only 50 people can invest money in it.Here ~23 million people have parked their hard earned cash! Hell the number of investors in this case, is even more than the total number of people investing in the conventional stock-exchanges of India!India’s biggest IPO till date was of Coal India worth Rs.15000+ crores, and you’ve made 24,000 crores out of these OFCDs! It is my responsibility to protect the investors’ in Capital market.Hence, By the powers given to me under SEBI Act, I hereby order you to stop collecting money and refund all the money to those investors with 15% interest rate.
SAHARAThis is not right!
SEBIWell, if you’re unhappy with my order you can go to the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT)
SAHARAPleads before SAT.
SATSEBI is right. You refund money to those people.
SAHARANow, I’ll appeal in Supreme Court.

2012: Supreme Court hearing

SCWhat are your arguments?
SAHARAThose two companies are unlisted. Meaning, their shares are not listed on any Stock Exchange of India.Therefore, their conduct is outside the jurisdiction of SEBI. Because SEBI is regulator for listed firms only.Our matter falls under Union Corporate Affairs Ministry and not under SEBI.
SEBINope, this matter comes under my jurisdiction, becauseOFCD is a “security” under the Securities Act= it comes under the Sebi Act= I’ve the jurisdiction= Hence I can pass a special order to regulate unlisted companies!

Order of Supreme Court

Saare sabuto aur gawaaho ko madde nazar rakhte hue (in the light of all evidence and witnesses)

To SAHARATo SEBI
We are unconvinced with your logic that OFCD schemes don’t come under the scope of  SEBI.Mostly rural people have Invested money in your schemes and they’re not aware of OFCD.At the end of day, they would come and say that they were cheated. You know Harshad Mehta’s case, same modus operandi was there. Investors were not aware of the scheme.It seems you have no intention of returning the investors’ money. Your intentions are shady.We order you to refund the money.If those two companies of SAHARA donot refund money, you’re free to attach their properties and freeze their bank accounts.Also conduct a probe against those two Sahara companies to find out their actual subscriber base. (to make sure some funny game or money laundering isnot going on.)Check the genuineness of the investors and if the investors are not traceable, the amount will go to the government.

Government’s response

  • As you’ve seen in ^this case, SAHARA’s main argument is “SEBI doesn’t have jurisdiction over our OFCD investment scheme, because this money was meant for our “unlisted” companies.”
  • Government has decided to fix this ambiguity in the new Companies Act.
  • According to Companies Bill 2012 (passed in Lok Sabha): SEBI will have undisputed jurisdiction over any investment scheme involving more than 50 investors-It doesn’t matter whether you’re a listed company or an unlisted company.

SEBI ordinance

  • In 2013, Government had introduced Securities Laws (amendment) Bill, 2013. This was to empower SEBI against Sahara like litigations.
  • although it couldn’t be passed, but since the matter was of urgent importance, government decided to implement the provisions as an ordinance.
  • In March 2014, For the third time, Government extended this ordinance.

The silent features of the bill/ordinance:

  1. Empowers SEBI to investigate, raid and attach bank account and properties.
  2. If a person doesn’t comply with SEBI order, SEBI can arrest him without approaching the court.
  3. If any entity gathers funds of 100 crore OR above from juntaa, it’ll be called Collective investment scheme. (=indirectly it means company will fall under jurisdiction of SEBI, because SEBI regulates after Collective investment schemes.) This is necessary because Sahara says, “our scheme was above 100 crore but we are not a CIS, hence SEBI doesn’t have jurisdiction over us”
  4. SEBI can further expand the definition of Collective Investment funds through regulations.
  5. SEBI can sign agreements with foreign financial regulators for exchange of information.
  6. Fast track courts for speedy trials of pending SEBI cases.

It is right to stop Rahul from going to the temple

राहुल को मंदिर जाने से रोकना उचित

राहुल गांधी पूछ रहे हैं कि उन्हें मंदिर जाने से क्यों रोका जा रहा है? इसका उत्तर में इसलिए दे सकती हूं, क्योंकि मैं चार वर्षों तक असम में राही हूं। इस सवाल का जवाब पहले कानून-व्यवस्था के आधार पर, फिर नैतिक आधार पर। पहले कानून-व्यवस्था की बात। सन् 1971 के भारत-पाकिस्तान युद्ध के बाद करोड़ों बांग्लादेशी शरणार्थी असम सहित कई राज्यों में आ गए और निवर्तमान सरकार की तुष्टीकरण नीतियों के कारण फिर कभी वापस नहीं गए। इस वजह से असम के कुछ जिले अत्यंत संवेदनशील हो गए हैं। सांप्रदायिक हिंसा का यहां पर पुराना रिकॉर्ड रहा है। फिर, यह कोई नौसिखिया भी जानता है कि राज्य की कानून- व्यवस्था का अधिकार सूबाई सरकार के पास होता है। उसके पास तमाम प्रकट कारणों के अतिरिक्त खुफिया जानकारियां भी होती हैं। इसीलिए राज्य सरकार का यह विशेषाधिकार होता है कि यह किसी व्यक्ति को किसी विशेष स्थान पर जाने की अनुमति दे अथवा न दे? और, अगर यह व्यक्ति नामचीन हस्ती हो, तो उसकी जिम्मेदारी कहीं अधिक बढ़ जाती है, क्योंकि उसकी सुरक्षा की जवाबदेही भी राज्य सरकार पर होती है। इसलिए असम की राज्य सरकार ने क्षेत्र की संवेदनशील प्रकृति को देखते हुए उचित निर्णय लिया। वैसे भी, यह कोई नई परिघटना नहीं है। देश के गृह मंत्री को बिहार और बंगाल में कानून-व्यवस्था के आधार पर सभा करने की अनुमति नहीं दी गई थी। लालकृष्ण आडवाणी की चर्चित रथ-यात्रा को बिहार में कानून-व्यवस्था के आधार पर ही रोक दिया गया था और उन्हें गिरफ्तार करके वापस भेज दिया गया था।

नैतिक आधार पर देखा जाए, तो रामलला की प्राण-प्रतिष्ठा में शामिल होने का बुलावा कांग्रेस के नेताओं को भी गया था, लेकिन उन्होंने मना कर दिया। यह वही पार्टी है, जो इस देश के आराध्य भगवान राम को काल्पनिक मानती है। राहुल गांधी की पार्टी के सांसद तो तुष्टीकरण को ही आगे चढ़ाने का काम करते हैं। उनकी पार्टी के ही एक मंत्री ने हाल में रामलाल की मूर्तियों को गुड्डा- गुड़िया कहा था। उनकी पार्टी के सहयोगी तो सनातन धर्म के खिलाफ जहर उगलते हैं और सनातनियों का अपमान करते हैं। ऐसे में, मंदिर जाने से रोककर असम सरकार ने क्या गलत किया ? जिस पार्टी के नेता हिंदू बनने का ढोंग करते हों, उनको भला क्यों मंदिर जाना चाहिए? असम सरकार ने उचित ही राहुल गांधी को रोक दिया। इस मसले को बेवजह तुल देने का कोई अर्थ नहीं। इसके बजाय राहुल गांधी और उनकी पार्टी को अपने गिरेबान में झांकना चाहिए।

It is right to stop Rahul from going to the temple

Rahul Gandhi is asking why he is being stopped from going to the temple? I can answer this because I have been living in Assam for four years. The answer to this question is first on the basis of law and order, then on moral grounds. First the matter of law and order. After the India-Pakistan war of 1971, crores of Bangladeshi refugees came to many states including Assam and never went back due to the appeasement policies of the outgoing government. Because of this, some districts of Assam have become extremely sensitive. There is a long record of communal violence here. Then, even a novice knows that the state government has the authority to maintain law and order in the state. Apart from all the obvious reasons, he also has intelligence information. That is why the state government has the prerogative to allow or not allow a person to go to a particular place. And, if this person is a famous personality, then his responsibility increases much more, because the state government is also responsible for his security. Therefore, the state government of Assam took an appropriate decision considering the sensitive nature of the area. Anyway, this is not a new phenomenon. The Home Minister of the country was not allowed to hold meetings in Bihar and Bengal on the grounds of law and order. Lal Krishna Advani’s famous Rath Yatra was stopped in Bihar on law and order grounds and he was arrested and sent back.

If seen on moral grounds, Congress leaders were also invited to participate in the consecration of Ram Lalla, but they refused. This is the same party which considers this country’s idol Lord Ram as imaginary. The MPs of Rahul Gandhi’s party only work to promote appeasement. A minister from his own party had recently called the statues of Ramlal as dolls. His party colleagues spew venom against Sanatan Dharma and insult Sanatani people. In such a situation, what wrong did the Assam government do by stopping people from visiting the temple? Why should leaders of a party whose leaders pretend to be Hindus go to the temple? Assam government rightly stopped Rahul Gandhi. There is no point in emphasizing this issue unnecessarily. Instead, Rahul Gandhi and his party should look inward.

New robot will be helpful in disaster affected areas

नया रोबोट आपदाग्रस्त क्षेत्रों में मददगार होगा

इटली, एजेंसी। प्रकृति के आधार पर नया रोबोट ‘फिलोबोट’ विकसित किया गया है। इस रोबोट की लंबाई अंगूर जैसे किसी बेल की तरह स्वतः बढ़ेगी। इसी डिजाइन के कारण ये आपदाग्रस्त क्षेत्रों में लगाने के बाद सहायक साबित होंगे।

मशीन में लगा हेड प्लास्टिक को पिघलाकर थ्रीडी प्रिट तकनीक से अपनी बॉडी को प्रिंट करेगा। फिलोबोट का हेड और बेस के बीच एक पतली सी नली लगाई गई है जिससे प्लास्टिक की सप्लाई होगी। उल्लेखनीय हैकि फिलोबोट के बढ़ने की दर धीमी है, यह एक मिनट में केवल कुछ मिलीमीटर ही बढ़ता है। इसे पतला और लचीला बनाया गया है। इसके अलावा यह चिकित्सा क्षेत्र में भी सहायक साबित हो सकता है। इसका दावा वैज्ञानिकों ने किया है। इसे विकसित करने वाली इटली यूनिवर्सिटी की इमैनुएला डले डोटरे और उनकी टीम ने पौधों में होने वाली प्रक्रिया फोटोट्रॉपिज्म, निगेटिव फोटोट्रापिज्म और ग्रैवाइट्रॉपिज्म का उपयोग किया है और इसी मेकैनिज्म की आधार पर यह रोबोट भी काम करेगा।

Italy, Agency. A new robot ‘Philobot’ has been developed based on nature. The length of this robot will automatically grow like a vine like grapes. Due to this design, they will prove helpful when installed in disaster affected areas.

The head installed in the machine will melt the plastic and print its body using 3D print technology. A thin tube has been installed between the head and base of Philobot through which plastic will be supplied. It is noteworthy that the rate of growth of Philobote is slow, it grows only a few millimeters in a minute. It has been made thin and flexible. Apart from this, it can also prove helpful in the medical field. Scientists have claimed this. Emmanuella Dalle Dotre of the Italian University who developed it and her team have used the processes occurring in plants, phototropism, negative phototropism and gravitropism, and this robot will also work on the basis of this mechanism.

Melting of Greenland’s glacier may affect weather

ग्रीनलैंड के ग्लेशियर पिघलने से मौसम पर हो सकता है असर

वाशिंगटन, एजेंसी। पिछले चार दशक में ग्रीनलैंड से 20 प्रतिशत से ज्यादा बर्फ की चादर गायब हो गई। यह दावा नासा की जेट प्रोपल्शन प्रयोगशाला के वैज्ञानिकों ने किया है। 1985 से 2022 के बीच दो लाख से ज्यादा तस्वीरों के आधार पर खुलासा हुआ।

शोधकर्ताओं के मुताबिक, करीब एक लाख करोड़ मीट्रिक टन से ज्यादा ग्लेशियर खत्म हो गए हैं। ग्लेशियर के पिघलने से समुद्र के औसत जलस्तर में करीब 13.5 मिलीमीटर की वृद्धि हुई है। शोधकर्ताओं ने कहा कि बर्फ के पिघलने से समुद्री धाराएं प्रभावित हो सकती हैं, जिससे मौसम संबंधी परिवर्तन में बदलाव देखने को मिल सकता है। इससे पहले इंटरनेशनल आइस शीट मास बैलेंस इंटर-कंपेरिजन एक्सरसाइज (आईएमबीआईइ) से जुड़े वैज्ञानिकों का मानना है कि ग्रीनलैंड में जमा ग्लेशियर करीब 539,000 करोड़ टन बर्फ खो चुकी है। शोधकर्ताओं ने खोई हुई इसी बर्फ की मात्रा का आकलन अपने अध्ययन के तहत किया है।

Washington, Agency. More than 20 percent of the ice sheet disappeared from Greenland in the last four decades. This claim has been made by scientists of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The revelation was made on the basis of more than two lakh photographs between 1985 and 2022.

According to researchers, more than one lakh crore metric tons of glaciers have been lost. Due to the melting of the glacier, the average sea level has increased by about 13.5 mm. Researchers said that melting ice could affect ocean currents, which could lead to changes in weather patterns. Earlier, scientists associated with the International Ice Sheet Mass Balance Inter-Comparison Exercise (IMBIE) believe that the glacier stored in Greenland has lost about 539,000 crore tons of ice. Researchers have estimated the amount of ice lost as part of their study.

Sonia-Kharge rejected invitation to attend Pran Pratistha program

सोनिया-खड़गे प्राण प्रतिष्ठा कार्यक्रम में शामिल होने के निमंत्रण को अस्वीकार कर दिया

नई दिल्ली, विशेष संवाददाता। अयोध्या में प्राण प्रतिष्ठा कार्यक्रम में कांग्रेस अध्यक्ष मल्लिकार्जुन खड़गे, पूर्व अध्यक्ष सोनिया गांधी और लोकसभा में पार्टी के नेता अधीर रंजन चौधरी शामिल नहीं होंगे।

पार्टी ने आयोजन के निमंत्रण को ससम्मान अस्वीकार कर दिया है। तीनों नेताओं को राममंदिर के उद्घाटन के लिए आमंत्रित किया गया था। कांग्रेस महासचिव जयराम रमेश ने एक बयान में कहा कि भाजपा और आरएसएस ने वर्षों से अयोध्या में राम मंदिर को राजनीतिक परियोजना बना दिया है।

साफ है कि अर्द्धनिर्मित मंदिर का उद्घाटन राजनीतिक लाभ के लिए किया जा रहा है। इस बीच, उत्तर प्रदेश कांग्रेस के अध्यक्ष अजय राय मकर संक्राति पर अयोध्या जा सकते हैं।

उधर, केंद्रीय मंत्री हरदीप सिंह पुरी ने कहा, कांग्रेस को अपने फैसले पर पछतावा होगा। उन्होंने कांग्रेस पर अपनी बयानबाजी में फंसने का आरोप लगाया। सौ देशों में रामोत्सव मनेगा

कांग्रेस ने निमंत्रण को ससम्मान अस्वीकार कर दिया

New Delhi, Special Correspondent. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, former President Sonia Gandhi and party leader in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Choudhary will not attend the consecration program in Ayodhya.

The party has respectfully declined the invitation for the event. The three leaders were invited for the inauguration of the Ram temple. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said in a statement that the BJP and the RSS have over the years made the Ram temple in Ayodhya a political project.

It is clear that the half-built temple is being inaugurated for political gains. Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Congress President Ajay Rai may visit Ayodhya on Makar Sankranti.

On the other hand, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said, Congress will regret its decision. He accused Congress of getting trapped in its own rhetoric. Ramotsav will be celebrated in hundred countries

Congress respectfully declined the invitation

Programs will run for nine days in Sitamarhi

सीतामढ़ी में नौ दिन – चलेंगे कार्यक्रम

भदोही। अवध में राममंदिर में प्राण- प्रतिष्ठा की तैयारियां चरम पर हैं तो वहीं सीता समाहित स्थल (सीतामढ़ी) भी भव्य समारोह को तत्पर है। उधर जब ‘अवधपति’ की प्राण प्रतिष्ठा हो रही होगी, ‘वैदेही’ यहां दुल्हन के शृंगार में होंगी। मंदिर प्रबंधन इसके लिए जुटा है। यहां नौ दिनों कार्यक्रम की तैयारी है।

पौराणिक मान्यताओं में सीतामढ़ी में ही निर्वासन के दौरान मां जानकी धरती में समा गईं थीं। यहीं पर वाल्मिकी आश्रम में लव-कुश कुमारों का जन्म हुआ। वाल्मीकि ने यहीं पर रामायण की रचना की थी। गोस्वामी तुलसीदास ने 500 साल पहले कवितावली में इस स्थान का जिक्र किया है।

Bhadohi. While preparations for the consecration of the Ram temple in Awadh are at their peak, the place where Sita resides (Sitamarhi) is also ready for a grand ceremony. On the other hand, when ‘Avadhapati’ is being consecrated, ‘Vaidehi’ will be here adorning the bride. The temple management is busy for this. There is preparation for the program here for nine days.

According to mythological beliefs, Mother Janaki had disappeared into the earth during her exile in Sitamarhi itself. It was here in Valmiki Ashram that Luv-Kush Kumar were born. Valmiki composed Ramayana here. Goswami Tulsidas has mentioned this place in his poetry 500 years ago.
