By

Sebi said the exchange had failed in its fiduciary responsibilty .
The terms of consent will be discussed by an internal sebi panel which comprises the investigating officers , officials of the legal department and the department which is issued the show cause notice.once approved , the terms will b esent to an external panel , called high - powered Advisory Committee. Then the application will be vetted by a panel of sebi whole - time members before being aproved.
NSE took the decision to settle the charges through the consent mechanism at a June 7 board meeting , said a person familiar  with the development .The board decided to opt for the route as it was causing reputational damage to the exchange, this person added on condition of anonymity.
