Kamlesh Varshney, Amarjeet Singh to join Sebi as wholetime members

The government on Wednesday appointed Kamlesh Chandra Varshney and Amarjeet Singh as whole time members to the board of Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi).

While Varshney, a 1990-batch officer of the Indian Revenue Service, is a joint secretary at the department of revenue, Singh is serving as an executive director at the capital markets regulator.

In two separate notifications, the department of economic affairs of the finance ministry said both the appointments are for three years from the date of assumption of charge or until further orders, whichever is earlier. The new members will fill in the vacancies created by the retirement of Ananta Barua and SK Mohanty.
