Sahara said the reason is clear that the SEBI, despite giving four rounds of advertisements in 154 newspapers in last 8 years across the country, has repaid only Rs 107 crore to the investors. In its last advertisement that was published around a year ago, SEBI made it clear that it would not entertain any further claim thereafter.

"It means that for SEBI there is no more claimant at all. How can there be claimants since Sahara has already paid back, long time back. SEBI is acting biased. It is a typical case of double payment. As per the directives of the Hon'ble Supreme Court, this amount of Rs 22,500 crore will eventually come back to Sahara after due verification," Sahara said in the statement.
