"They have further stated that this action has been undertaken by them without prejudice to their rights and remedies, which remain available to them in law and equity," the regulator said in a statement on its website.
Additionally, Jane Street has further requested SEBI that certain conditional restrictions imposed under the interim order be listed and that SEBI issue appropriate directions in that regard.
"This request is currently under examination by SEBI in accordance with the directions of the interim order," the regulator added.
Moneycontrol had earlier reported citing sources that Jane Street is eligible to resume trading into Indian equities after it deposited the ₹4,843 crore in an escrow account as directed by SEBI.
SEBI's interim order had also directed banks, custodians, depositories, registrars to prevent any movement of Jane Street's assets until the deposits are made.
It remains to be seen how does Jane Street's return to Dalal Street impacts options market volumes.
CNBC-TV18 had reported on Friday that trading activity in India's options market has slowed down considerably, more so, during the weekly options expiry session, after SEBI's interim order on Jane Street.
On the NSE, the index options premium turnover on the weekly expiry day of Thursday, has dropped sharply over the last three weeks. What stood at ₹80,731 crore on June 26, the options premium turnover on the NSE fell to ₹61,511 crore on July 3, which happens to be the same evening that SEBI issued the Jane Street order.
However, a report from Reuters, citing sources, said that Jane Street does not intend to immediately start trading in the Indian option market and that they reserve the option to challenge SEBI's order.
