SEBI on May 30, 2012 had said that exchanges which do not comply with these norms would have to exit either on their own vide an application or face compulsory exit.

Further, the Income Tax Authorities, Ministry of Corporate Affairs and the State Government of Gujarat are being intimated about the exit of VSEL, for appropriate action at their end, SEBI said.
