The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on July 14 confirmed that global trading firm Jane Street has deposited ₹4,843.57 crore in an escrow account, fulfilling a key directive from the regulator’s interim order issued on July 3, 2025.
According to SEBI’s statement, the funds have been credited to an escrow account maintained with a scheduled commercial bank, with a lien marked in favour of SEBI. Jane Street noted that the deposit was made “without prejudice” to its legal rights and remedies, which it intends to pursue as per law and equity.
Following the deposit, Jane Street has requested SEBI to lift the restrictions imposed under the interim order, which included a trading ban and asset freezes. SEBI added that this request is under examination in accordance with the provisions of the interim directive.
The regulator reiterated its commitment to maintaining market integrity and ensuring compliance with the law, as the case proceeds.
