The company had to return the amount subsequent to an earlier SC order. The three months’ time limit fixed by the SC to return the amount expired on Thursday. Sahara Group counsel Gopal Subramanium said the company wanted to deposit the money with the court as SEBI had not been able to devise any plan to distribute the amount.
