In an interim order, SEBI directed Avadhut Sathe and his company, Avadhut Sathe Trading Academy Private Limited (ASTAPL), to return INR 546.16 crore, which the regulator described as unlawful gains. Sathe has been barred from accessing the securities market after the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) accused him of running an unregistered investment advisory business.
