SAT has granted interim stay on SEBI's February 2026 order that had directed Setco's promoters to pay back ₹208.77 crore and debarred them from securities markets. SEBI had alleged that ₹107.76 crore in marketing commission and ₹101 crore in preference share investments were diverted to promoter-controlled Setco Engineering Private Limited. The promoters argued all transactions were disclosed to and approved by 99% of minority shareholders, with proper audit committee approvals. SAT found merit in the defence that shareholders knowingly approved the arrangements, noting investors' interests are paramount and an adverse order could trigger lender action leading to company liquidation. The stay is conditional on depositing the penalty within four weeks and promoters providing undertakings not to access markets or deal with assets without SEBI approval.
The stay provides temporary relief to the company and its promoters while the appeal is pending. However, the underlying ₹208.77 crore liability and market ban remain contingent on the final outcome of the SAT appeal, keeping uncertainty over the company's governance at elevated levels.
