Jane Street deposits ₹4,800 crore in escrow accounts, requests SEBI to remove restrictions

Jane Street has credited ₹4,800 crore to an escrow account with a lien marked in favour of SEBI. It has further stated this action had been undertaken by it without prejudice to its rights and remedies which remain available to them in law and equity.

Jane Street has further requested SEBI that, following the creation of this escrow account in compliance with SEBI directions, certain conditional restrictions imposed under the interim order be lifted and that SEBI issue appropriate directions in this regard.

“This request is currently under examination by SEBI in accordance with the directions of the interim order,” SEBI said on Monday (July 14, 2025).

“SEBI remains committed to following due process and ensuring the integrity of the securities market,” it added.

Earlier this month, SEBI had passed an interim order on the U.S.-based FPI for manipulating Bank Nifty index and banned the investment firm from Indian securities markets for manipulating index and unlawfully earnings about ₹4,800 crore
