The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has ordered the winding up of Cinema Capital Venture Fund within three months due to non-compliance in returning money to its investors after ten years.

Consequently, key executives are banned from working with SEBI-registered entities for three years and face financial penalties for various violations.
