Also Sahara India Real Estate agreed for the court orders and have promised to do the same at the earliest. Also the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) has also ordered Sahara group to refund Rs 24,000 crore for violating real estate securities laws.
It stated that any company which upholds shares or debentures exceeding 50 persons or more in number is thus subjected as a public issue and this will be considered under the eye of law. Sahara India Real Estate for now owns nearly Rs 17,656 crore shares and 22.1 million investors. The similar scenario has been traced at
