The Story in Brief
Modulus Alternatives Investment Managers has paid Rs 10.87 lakh to settle a Sebi case over alleged violations of Alternative Investment Fund rules. Sebi said the investment manager failed to maintain its continuing interest in India Credit Opportunities Fund II on a pro rata basis with other investors. The regulator reached this finding after examining the fund’s quarterly activity reports.
Modulus filed a settlement application without admitting or denying the findings. Sebi confirmed the settlement on May 25, 2026, and said it would not pursue enforcement action over the alleged violations. The regulator retained the right to act if it finds misrepresentation or a breach of the settlement terms.
The Indian Opinion
A settlement payment is not the same as a finding after a full enforcement hearing, and claims that the case proves either a major fund failure or a trivial paperwork issue go beyond the order. The practical issue is whether investment managers match their own drawdowns with the commitments expected under AIF rules. Future Sebi disclosures on continuing interest and settlement breaches will show whether this was an isolated lapse or a wider compliance problem.
