They however have officially said that investigation is going on regarding these two entities but not against the company who has filed the offer documents with Sebi, and so there is occurring delay in receiving the clean chit for IPO clearance. Sebi has revealed the latest updates regarding teh offer documents presented by the two companies. They both have been filed for fundraising from the public, however it was shown that Sebi’s observations on the offer document by Aditya Birla MF was ‘kept in abeyance’.
