Why did Mukesh Ambani receive a penalty from Sebi?
The complaint, which was first filed in 2007, concerns the buying and selling of Reliance Petroleum Limited (RPL). March 2007 saw RIL sell five percent of its shares in RPL, a listed Reliance company that amalgamated with RIL in 2009.
Sebi fined Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) ₹25 crore in January 2021, Ambani, the company's chairman and managing director, ₹15 crore, Navi Mumbai SEZ Pvt Ltd ₹20 crore, and Mumbai SEZ Ltd ₹10 crore in the RPL case.
Sebi pointed to a violation of takeover regulations in the ₹12 crore share sale. According to the entity, the firm's promoters have acquired a stake of over 6.83 percent in the company, surpassing the legally mandated 5 percent limit.
Mukesh Ambani and his brother Anil Ambani, along with their mother, spouses, kids, and other parties connected to the transaction, were fined ₹25 crore by Sebi in 2021 after the businessman and his company were found guilty of manipulating the takeover of shares.

Why did SAT overturn Ambani's Sebi order?
The Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) opted to overturn the ruling against Mukesh Ambani and informed Sebi that the Chairman and Managing Director of RIL cannot be held accountable for each and every purported legal infraction by
"In view of the stark evidence in the form of minutes of the two board meetings of RIL which conclusively proves that the impugned trades were carried out by two senior officials without the knowledge of the appellant, no liability can be fastened upon noticee no. 2 (Ambani)," the lower court stated.
The tribunal further stated that Sebi was unable to establish Ambani's involvement in the two senior executives' trade execution. As a result, the fine imposed on him and RIL has been revoked.
