HDFC Bank, IDBI Bank, Central Bank, ING Vysya Bank, IL&FS and Motilal Oswal have been asked not to open fresh demat accounts.

While initiating quasi-judicial proceedings against two depository participants (Karvy and Pratik DP), it told them to stop all accounts till further notice.

The interim order has barred Roopalben Panchal, accused in Yes Bank and IDFC IPO scams, from dealing in securities market. NSDL and CSDL have been directed not to entertain demat accounts that were used for the IPO allotments.

The barred entities have 15 days to appeal against the order. SEBI findings, prima facie, reveal violations of serious nature by the key operators, their financiers, concerned depository participants and the depositories.
