Jane Street Continues Trading After Depositing Rs 4,840 Crore as per SEBI’s Order

Earlier on July 14, the US-based trading firm, Jane Street Group LLC, was banned by SEBI as it was accused of being engaged in manipulative trading practices. As per the latest updates, Jane Street has deposited Rs 4,843.5 crore (around $564 million) into an escrow account on July 11, 2025. This step was taken to comply with a directive from the SEBI. By doing this, the firm can be allowed to continue its trading activities in India.

Jane Street has been accused by SEBI of making illegal profits by using trading methods that are considered to be manipulative. As a result, the firm was banned from trading until it deposited the required amount. After the allegations, the stock experienced one of its sharpest drops of the year on July 4. The shares of the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) came down after Jane Street was banned, dropping 21% from their highest point in June. By Friday, they closed at their lowest in nearly two months.

Now that the deposit has been made, the restrictions on Jane Street are expected to be removed. According to Clause 62.11 of SEBI’s order, the trading ban on Jane Street has been removed, but the firm can only continue trading if it agrees not to use the trading strategies that were identified as manipulative. SEBI has also instructed exchanges to keep a close eye on the firm’s future trades to make sure there is no risk of market manipulation.

It is still not clear if Jane Street will start trading right away or take a more careful approach. The investigation is still ongoing. Jane Street has denied being involved in any such unfair practices and has stated that SEBI misunderstood their standard hedging practices. If the final decision clears the firm of the allegations, the deposited funds could be released.
