Cracking its whip on entities using stock markets for evading taxes and laundering black money, watchdog Sebi has decided to suspend trading in listed companies that are found to be used by such manipulators.

“These parameters include these companies being non- existent on their mentioned address, misuse of preferential allotment and weak fundamentals not supporting price rise,” a senior official said.
