The properties that went under the hammer include land parcels, agricultural land, office premises and flats and godowns across West Bengal.
In 2014, Sebi had ordered the firm and its directors/promoters to return the money raised from investors through illegal collective investment schemes (CIS). However, they failed to comply with the regulator's direction.
Consequently, Sebi initiated recovery proceedings against Ramel Industries and its promoters/directors to recover Rs 60.86 crore, along with interest. Further, in June 2016, the recovery officer had attached the immovable properties of the company and its directors/ promoters and issued an order prohibiting them from disposing of or transferring their assets.
Since they failed to repay the dues, Sebi issued a notice in January this year for selling the properties through public auction.
