The practice of giving loan to brokers from the fund of the client is in violation of the bye- laws of the exchange and SEBI circular no. SMD/SED/Cir/93/23321 dated 18.11.1993 by which it has been mandated that a broker cannot use money of the client for any other purpose and his money is to be kept segregated only for his transactions. The stock broker, in view of the above transaction is thus found to have violated the circular dated 18.11.1993 and also violated items (6) of clause B of Schedule II read with regulation 7 of Stock Brokers Regulation. The above transactions also show that the member had entered into regular lending transactions which is in violation of rule 8(1)(f) of SC(R). Such lending transactions that too from the monies of the client are in violation of rule 8(1)(f) of SC(R) Rules and SEBI circular dated 18.11.1993.
