In February this year, the committee decided to receive claims from all investors having outstanding claims with PACL after it completed the process of refunding to the investors whose total outstanding amount was up to ₹2,500.

The committee headed by retired Justice R M Lodha was set up by Sebi following a Supreme Court order for selling the properties of PACL and using the sale proceeds to refund the investors.

The ruling came after it was found that PACL had illegally collected around ₹60,000 crore from the public, mainly in the name of agriculture and real estate businesses and the firm failed to refund the investors.
