National Stock Exchange of India 1
Genesis
NSE was given recognition as a stock exchange in April 1993 and started operations in
June 1994, with trading on the Wholesale Debt Market Segment. Subsequently, it launched
the Capital Market Segment in November 1994 as a trading platform for Equities and the
Futures and Options segment in June 2000 for various derivative instruments.
The NSE is owned by a set of leading financial institutions, banks, insurance companies
and other financial intermediaries. It is managed by professionals, who do not directly
or indirectly trade on the Exchange. The trading rights are with trading members who
offer their services to the investors. The Board of NSE comprises of senior executives
from promoter institutions and eminent professionals, without having any representation
from trading members.
While the Board deals with the broad policy issues, the Executive Committees (ECs),
which include trading members, formed under the Articles of Association and the
Rules of NSE for different market segments, set out rules and parameters to manage the
day-to-day affairs of the Exchange. The day-to-day management of the Exchange is
delegated to the Managing Director and CEO who is supported by a team of professional
staff. Therefore, though the role of trading members at NSE is to the extent of providing
only trading services to the investors, the Exchange involves trading members in the
process of consultation and participation in vital inputs towards decision making.
Tables 1-1 and 1-2 gives the composition of its Board of Directors and the Executive
Committees.
NSE provides a trading platform for of all types of securities for investors under
one roof – Equity, Corporate Debt, Central and State Government Securities,
T-Bills, Commercial Paper (CPs), Certificate of Deposits (CDs), Warrants, Mutual
Funds (MFs) units, Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), Derivatives like Index Futures,
Index Options, Stock Futures, Stock Options. The Exchange provides trading in
3 different segments viz., Wholesale Debt Market (WDM) segment, Capital Market (CM)
segment and the Futures & Options (F&O) segment
The Wholesale Debt Market segment provides the trading platform for trading of a wide
range of debt securities which includes State and Central Government securities, T-Bills,
PSU Bonds, Corporate debentures, CPs, CDs etc. However, along with these financial
instruments, NSE has also launched various products e.g. FIMMDA-NSE MIBID/MIBOR
3
owing to the market need. A reference rate is said to be an accurate measure of the market
price. In the fixed income market, it is the interest rate that the market respects and
closely matches. In response to this, NSE started computing and disseminating the NSE
Mumbai Inter-bank Bid Rate (MIBID) and NSE Mumbai Inter-Bank Offer Rate (MIBOR).
Owing to the robust methodology of computation of these rates and its extensive use,
this product has become very popular among the market participants. Keeping in mind
the requirements of the banking industry, FIs, MFs, insurance companies, who have
substantial investments in sovereign papers, NSE also started the dissemination of its
yet another product, the ‘Zero Coupon Yield Curve’. This helps in valuation of sovereign
securities across all maturities irrespective of its liquidity in the market. The increased
activity in the government securities market in India and simultaneous emergence of
MFs (Gilt MFs) had given rise to the need for a well defined bond index to measure
the returns in the bond market. NSE constructed such an index the, ‘NSE Government
Securities Index’. This index provides a benchmark for portfolio management by various
investment managers and gilt funds.
The Capital Market segment offers a fully automated screen based trading system, known
as the National Exchange for Automated Trading (NEAT) system. This operates on a
price/time priority basis and enables members from across the country to trade with
enormous ease and efficiency. Various types of securities e.g. equity shares, warrants,
debentures etc. are traded on this system. The average daily turnover in the CM Segment
of the Exchange during 2007-08 was nearly Rs. 14,148 crore. (US $ 3,540 million).
Futures & Options segment of NSE provides trading in derivatives instruments like
Index Futures, Index Options, Stock Options, Stock Futures. Though only eight years
into its’ operations, the futures and options segment of NSE has made a mark for itself
globally. In the Futures and Options segment, trading in S&P CNX Nifty Index, CNX
IT index, Bank Nifty Index, CNX Nifty Junior, CNX 100 index, Nifty Midcap 50 index
and single stocks are available. The average daily turnover in the F&O Segment of the
Exchange during 2007-08 was nearly Rs. 52,153 cr. (US $ 13,048 millions).
The statistical details of these segments are presented in the tables and charts below :

Based on the evolving needs of the market and the investors, NSE introduced futures
and options trading on Nifty Midcap 50 index in October 2007. It is a gateway for
investors to invest in the medium capitalised segment of the stock market which is
being increasingly perceived as an attractive investment strategy with high growth
potential. Mini Nifty derivative were available for trading from 01st January 2008.
It provides an opportunity and easier access for small investors to invest in derivatives.
Index is the most actively traded index based derivative product in India. The long
term options contract which was introduced in March 2008 has expected to deepen this
market further.
SEBI issued a SLB scheme on December 20, 2007. The salient features of the scheme are
as under:
8
• The SLB would take place on an automated, screen based, order-matching platform
which will be provided by the AIs. This platform would be independent of the other
trading platforms.
• To begin with, the securities traded in derivatives segment would be eligible for
lending & borrowing under the scheme.
• The settlement cycle for SLB transactions would be on T+1 basis. The settlement
of lending and borrowing transactions would be independent of normal market
settlement.
NSCCL, as an Approved Intermediary (AI) launched the Securities Lending & Borrowing
Scheme from April 21, 2008. Lending & Borrowing is carried on an automated screen
based platform where the order matching is done on basis of price time priority. The
borrowing has a fixed tenure of seven days with the first leg settlement on T+1 day and
reverse leg settlement on T+8 day.
During April 2008, Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI) allowed the direct market
access (DMA) facility to the institutional investors. DMA allows brokers to offer clients
direct access to the exchange trading system through the broker’s infrastructure without
manual intervention by the broker. DMA facility give clients direct control over orders,
help in faster execution of orders, reduce the risk of errors from manual order entry and
lend greater transparency and liquidity. DMA also leads to lower impact cost for large
orders, better audit trails and better use of hedging and arbitrage opportunities through
the use of decision support tools/algorithms for trading.
Volatility Index
The India VIX, the volatility Index was launched on 08th April, 2008 . A Volatility
Index reflects the market’s expectation of volatility over the near term. The index
captures the implied volatility embedded in option prices. Volatility is often described
as the “rate and magnitude of changes in prices” and, in, finance often referred to as risk.
9
Volatility Index is a measure, of the amount by which an underlying Index is expected
to fluctuate, in the near term, (calculated as annualised volatility, denoted in percentage
e.g. 20%) based on the order book of the underlying index options. Market volatility
keeps changing as new information flows into the market. It would be imperative
for market participants to have an index designed to track market volatility. The
India VIX is a simple but useful tool in determining the overall volatility of the
market.
Cross Margining
Many trading members undertake transactions on both the cash and derivative segments
of an Exchange. They keep separate deposits with the exchange for taking positions in
two different segments. In order to improve the efficiency of the use of the margin capital
by market participants and as in initial step towards cross margining across cash and
derivatives markets SEBI allowed Cross Margining benefit in May 2008.
For Cross margining the stock positions of the institutions in capital market segment
after confirmation by the custodian on T+1 day shall be compared with the stock
futures position of the same institution in derivative segment based on the CP code of
the institution at the end of the day. The position shall be considered for cross margining
only if the position in the capital market segment off set the position in the derivative
segment.
SEBI has allowed the following to start with: a. Cross margin is available for institutional
trades. b. Cross margin is available to positions in cash market having corresponding off-
setting positions in the stock futures market. c. For positions in the cash market which
have corresponding offsetting positions in the stock futures, VaR margin is not be levied
on the cash market position to the extent of the off-setting stock futures market position.
d. Extreme Loss margin and Market to Market margin shall continue to be levied on the
entire cash market position. e. The near-month stock futures positions are not considered
for cross-margin benefit three days prior to expiry (the last Thursday of every month)
and there will be no change in the margins on the F & O positions.
Power Exchange India Limited (PXI) a joint venture of National Stock Exchange of India
Ltd (NSE) and National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange Ltd (NCDEX) has been
set up in response to the guidelines issued by Central Electricity Regulatory Commission
(CERC). PXI would be operating as a National Level electricity exchange covering the
entire Indian electricity market. It will provide a common electronic platform for trading
of electricity. It is proposed that the initial trading would be done on a day-ahead basis
with voluntary participation. New contracts would be introduced after taking feedback
form the market and obtaining approval from CERC.

Facts And Figures
The growth in the stock market activity across the different market segments and
products is visible from records reached as at the end of March 2008 as sited in the table
below :
Technology
Technology has been the backbone of the Exchange. Providing the services to the investing
community and the market participants using technology at the cheapest possible cost has
been its main thrust. NSE chose to harness technology in creating a new market design. It
believes that technology provides the necessary impetus for the organisation to retain its
11
competitive edge and ensure timeliness and satisfaction in customer service. In recognition
of the fact that technology will continue to redefine the shape of the securities industry,
NSE stresses on innovation and sustained investment in technology to remain ahead
of competition. NSE is the first exchange in the world to use satellite communication
technology for trading. It uses satellite communication technology to energise participation
from about 2,956 VSATs from nearly 245 cities spread all over the country.
Its trading system, called National Exchange for Automated Trading (NEAT), is a state
of-the-art client server based application. At the server end, all trading information is
stored in an in-memory database to achieve minimum response time and maximum
system availability for users. It has uptime record of 99.7%. For all trades entered into
NEAT system, there is uniform response time of less than 1.5 seconds. NSE has been
continuously undertaking capacity enhancement measures so as to effectively meet the
requirements of increased users and associated trading loads. NSE has also put in place
NIBIS (NSE’s Internet Based Information System) for on-line real-time dissemination of
trading information over the Internet.
As part of its business continuity plan, NSE has established a disaster back-up site at
Chennai along with its entire infrastructure, including the satellite earth station and the
high-speed optical fibre link with its main site at Mumbai. This site at Chennai is a replica
of the production environment at Mumbai. The transaction data is backed up on near real
time basis from the main site to the disaster back-up site through the 2 mbps high-speed
link to keep both the sites all the time synchronized with each other.
Application Systems
The various application systems that NSE uses for its trading as well clearing and settlement
and other operations form the backbone of the Exchange. The application systems used for
the day-to-day functioning of the Exchange can be divided into (a) Front end applications
and (b) Back office applications.
In the front end, there are 6 applications: (i) NEAT – CM system takes care of trading of
securities in the Capital Market segment that includes equities, debentures/notes as well
as retail Gilts. The NEAT – CM application has a split architecture wherein the split is on
the securities and users. The application runs on three Stratus systems with Open Strata
Link (OSL). The application has been benchmarked to support 15,000 users and handle
more than 15 million trades daily. This application also provides data feed for processing
to some other systems like Index, OPMS through TCP/IP. This is a direct interface with
the trading members of the CM segment of the Exchange for entering the orders into the
main system. There is a two way communication between the NSE main system and the
front end terminal of the trading member. (ii) NEAT – WDM system takes care of trading
of securities in the Wholesale Debt Market (WDM) segment that includes Gilts, Corporate
Bonds, CPs, T-Bills, etc. This is a direct interface with the trading members of the WDM
segment of the Exchange for entering the orders/trades into the main system. There is a
two way communication between the NSE main system and the front end terminal of
12
the trading member. (iii) NEAT – F&O system takes care of trading of securities in the
Futures and Options (F&O) segment that includes Futures on Index as well as individual
stocks and Options on Index as well as individual stocks. This is a direct interface with
the trading members of the F&O segment of the Exchange for entering the orders into
the main system. There is a two way communication between the NSE main system and
the front end terminal of the trading member. (iv) NEAT – IPO system is an interface to
help the initial public offering of companies which are issuing the stocks to raise capital
from the market. This is a direct interface with the trading members of the CM segment
who are registered for undertaking order entry on behalf of their clients for IPOs. NSE
uses the NEAT IPO system that allows bidding in several issues concurrently. There is
a two way communication between the NSE main system and the front end terminal of
the trading member. (v) NEAT – MF system is an interface with the trading members of
the CM segment for order collection of designated Mutual Funds units (vi) Surveillance
system offers the users a facility to comprehensively monitor the trading activity and
analyse the trade data online and offline.
In the back office, the following important application systems are operative : (a) NCSS
(Nationwide Clearing and Settlement System) is the clearing and settlement system of
the NSCCL for the trades executed in the CM segment of the Exchange. The system has
3 important interfaces – OLTL (Online Trade loading) that takes each and every trade
executed on real time basis and allocates the same to the clearing members, Depository
Interface that connects the depositories for settlement of securities and Clearing Bank
Interface that connects the thirteen clearing banks for settlement of funds. It also interfaces
with the clearing members for all required reports. Through collateral management system
it keeps an account of all available collaterals on behalf of all trading/clearing members
and integrates the same with the position monitoring of the trading/clearing members.
The system also generates base capital adequacy reports. (b) FOCASS is the clearing
and settlement system of the NSCCL for the trades executed in the F&O segment of
the Exchange. It interfaces with the clearing members for all required reports. Through
collateral management system it keeps an account of all available collaterals on behalf of
all trading/clearing members and integrates the same with the position monitoring of
the trading/clearing members. The system also generates base capital adequacy reports.
(c) OPMS – the online position monitoring system that keeps track of all trades
executed for a trading member vis-à-vis its capital adequacy, (d) PRISM is the parallel
risk management system for F&O trades using Standard Portfolio Analysis (SPAN).
It is a system for comprehensive monitoring and load balancing of an array of parallel
processors that provides complete fault tolerance. It provides real time information on
initial margin value, mark to market profit or loss, collateral amounts, contract-wise
latest prices, contract-wise open interest and limits. The system also tracks online real
time client level portfolio base upfront margining and monitoring (e) Data warehousing
that is the central repository of all data in CM as well as F&O segment of the Exchange,
(f) Listing system that captures the data from the companies which are listed in the
Exchange for corporate governance and integrates the same to the trading system for
necessary broadcasts for data dissemination process and (g) Membership system that keeps
track of all required details of the Trading Members of the Exchange.

NSCCL
NSCCL has also introduced the facility of direct payout to clients’ account on both the
depositories. It ascertains from each clearing member, the beneficiary account details of
their respective clients who are due to receive pay out of securities. It has provided its
members with a front-end for creating the file through which the information is provided
to NSCCL. Based on the information received from members, it sends payout instructions
to the depositories, so that the client receives the pay out of securities directly to their
accounts on the pay-out day.
NSCCL currently settles trades under T+2 rolling settlement. It has the credit of
continuously upgrading the clearing and settlement procedures and has also brought
Indian financial markets in line with international markets. It has put in place online
real-time monitoring and surveillance system to keep track of the trading and clearing
members’ outstanding positions and each member is allowed to trade/operate within the
14
pre-set limits fixed according to the funds available with the Exchange on behalf of the
member. The online surveillance mechanism also generates various alerts/reports on any
price/volume movements of securities not in line with the trends/patterns.

Listing of Securities 3

Listing of Securities 3
The stocks, bonds and other securities issued by issuers require listing for providing
liquidity to investors. Listing means formal admission of a security to the trading platform
of the Exchange. It provides liquidity to investors without compromising the need of the
issuer for capital and ensures effective monitoring of conduct of the issuer and trading
of the securities in the interest of investors. The issuer wishing to have trading privileges
for its securities satisfies listing requirements prescribed in the relevant statutes and in the
listing regulations of the Exchange. It also agrees to pay the listing fees and comply with
listing requirements on a continuous basis. All the issuers who list their securities have
to satisfy the corporate governance requirement framed by regulators.
• NSE provides a trading platform that extends across the length and breadth of the
country. Listing on NSE thus, enables issuers to reach and service investors across
the country.
• NSE being the largest stock exchange in terms of trading volumes, the securities trade
at low impact cost and are highly liquid. This in turn reduces the cost of trading to
the investor.
• The trading system of NSE provides unparallel level of trade and post-trade
information. The best 5 buy and sell orders are displayed on the trading system
and the total number of securities available for buying and selling is also displayed.
This helps the investor to know the depth of the market. Further, corporate
announcements, results, corporate actions etc are also available on the trading system,
thus reducing scope for price manipulation or misuse.
• The facility of making initial public offers (IPOs), using NSE’s network and software,
results in significant reduction in cost and time of issues.
• Listed companies are provided with monthly trade statistics for the securities of the
company listed on the Exchange.
31
Listing Criteria
The Exchange has laid down criteria for listing of new issues by companies through
IPOs, companies listed on other exchanges in conformity with the Securities
Contracts (Regulation) Rules, 1957 and directions of the Central Government and
the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The criteria include minimum
paid-up capital and market capitalisation, company/promoter’s track record, etc.
The listing criteria for companies in the CM Segment are presented in Table 3-1. The
issuers of securities are required to adhere to provisions of the Securities Contracts
(Regulation) Act, 1956, the Companies Act, 1956, the Securities and Exchange Board
of India Act, 1992, and the rules, circulars, notifications, guidelines, etc. prescribed
there under.
Listing Agreement
All companies seeking listing of their securities on the Exchange are required to enter
into a formal listing agreement with the Exchange. The agreement specifies all the
quantitative and qualitative requirements to be continuously complied with by the
issuer for continued listing. The Exchange monitors such compliance and companies
who do not comply with the provisions of the listing agreement may be suspended from
trading on the Exchange. The agreement is being increasingly used as a means to improve
corporate governance.
32
De-listing
There are two kinds of delisting which can be done from the Exchanges as per the SEBI
(Delisting of Securities) Guidelines, 2003 in the following manner:
Any promoter or acquirer desirous of delisting securities of the company under the
provisions of these guidelines shall obtain the prior approval of shareholders of the
company by a special resolution passed at its general meeting, make a public announcement
in the manner provided in these guidelines, make an application to the delisting exchange
in the form specified by the exchange, and comply with such other additional conditions
as may be specified by the concerned stock exchanges from where securities are to be
de-listed. Any promoter of a company which desires to de-list from the stock exchange
shall also determine an exit price for delisting of securities in accordance with the book
building process as stated in the guidelines. The stock exchanges shall provide the
infrastructure facility for display of the price at the terminal of the trading members
to enable the investors to access the price on the screen to bring transparency to the
delisting process.
The stock exchanges may de-list companies which have been suspended for a minimum
period of six months for non-compliance with the listing agreement. The stock exchanges
shall give adequate and wide public notice through newspapers and also give a show cause
notice to a company. The exchange shall provide a time period of 15 days within which
representation may be made to the exchange by any person who may be aggrieved by
the proposed delisting.
The Stock Exchanges may, after consideration of the representation received from
the aggrieved persons, delist the securities of such companies. The stock exchange
shall ensure that adequate and wide public notice is given through newspaper and on
the notice boards/trading systems of the stock exchanges and shall ensure disclosure
in all such notices of the fair value of such securities. The stock exchange shall display
the name of such company on its website. Where the securities of the company
are de-listed by an exchange, the promoter of the company shall be liable to
compensate the security holders of the company by paying them the fair value of the
securities held by them and acquiring their securities, subject to their option to remain
security-holders with the company.

to as risk. Volatility Index is a measure, of the amount by which an underlying Index is expected
to fluctuate, in the near term, (calculated as annualised volatility, denoted in percentage
e.g. 20%) based on the order book of the underlying index options. Volatility Index is a
good indicator of the investors’ perception on how volatile markets are expected to be
in the near term. Usually, during periods of market volatility, market moves steeply up
or down and the volatility index tends to rise. As volatility subsides, option prices tend
to decline, which in turn causes volatility index to decline.
India VIX
NSE has been in the forefront of bringing the latest products and services to the Indian
capital markets for the benefit of the investors. In another innovation in the Indian
markets, NSE launched the India VIX on 08th April, 2008 a volatility index based on
the Nifty 50 Options prices. From the best bidask prices of Nifty 50 Options contracts
(which are traded on the F&O segment of NSE), a volatility figure (%) is calculated which
indicates the expected market volatility over the next 30 calendar days. Higher the implied
volatility higher the India VIX value and vice versa.
63
There are some differences between a price index, such as the Nifty 50 and India
VIX. Nifty 50 is calculated based on the price movement of the underlying 50 stocks
which comprises the index. India VIX is calculated based on the bid-offer prices of the
near and mid month Nifty 50 Index Options. Nifty 50 Index is an absolute number,
e.g. 4500, 5000 etc., whereas India VIX is a percentage value (eg. 20%, 30% etc.).
Whereas Nifty 50 signifies how the markets have moved directionally, India VIX
indicates the expected near term volatility and how the volatility is changing from time
to time.
Volatility Index offers great advantages in terms of trading, hedging and introducing
derivative products on this index. Investors can use volatility index for various purposes
as mentioned below:
• Investors’ portfolios are exposed to the market volatility. Investors could hedge
their portfolios against volatility with an off-setting position in India VIX futures
or options contracts.
• Volatility index depicts the collective consensus of the market on the expected
volatility and being contrarian in nature helps in predicting the direction.
Investors therefore could appropriately use this information for taking trading
positions.
• Investors could also use the implied volatility information given by the index, in
identifying mis-priced options.
• Short sale positions could expose investors to directional risk. Derivatives on
volatility index could help investors in safeguarding their positions and thus avoid
systemic risk for the market Based on the experience gained with the benchmark
broad based index, sector specific volatility indices could be constructed to enable
hedging by investors in those specific sectors.
Transaction Charges
64
A member is required to pay the exchange transaction charges at the rate of 0.0035%
(Rs. 3.5 per Rs. 1 lakh) of the turnover. Trading members are also required to pay securities
transaction tax (STT) on all delivery based transaction at the rate of 0.125% (payable by
both buyer and seller) and in case of non-delivery transactions at the rate of 0.025% for
equities payable by the seller only).
While NSE provides a platform for trading to its trading members, the National Securities
Clearing Corporation Ltd. (NSCCL) determines the funds/securities obligations of the
trading members and ensures that trading members meet their obligations. The core
processes involved in clearing and settlement are:
(a) Trade Recording : The key details about the trades are recorded to provide basis for
settlement. These details are automatically recorded in the electronic trading system
of the exchanges.
(b) Trade Confirmation : The parties to a trade agree upon the terms of trade like
security, quantity, price, and settlement date, but not the counterparty which is
the NSCCL. The electronic system automatically generates confirmation by direct
participants.
(d) Pay-in of Funds and Securities : The members bring in their funds/securities to the
NSCCL. They make available required securities in designated accounts with the
depositories by the prescribed pay-in time. The depositories move the securities
available in the accounts of members to the account of the NSCCL. Likewise
members with funds obligations make available required funds in the designated
accounts with clearing banks by the prescribed pay-in time. The NSCCL sends
electronic instructions to the clearing banks to debit member’s accounts to the
extent of payment obligations. The banks process these instructions, debit accounts
of members and credit accounts of the NSCCL.
(e) Pay-out of Funds and Securities : After processing for shortages of funds /securities
and arranging for movement of funds from surplus banks to deficit banks
through RBI clearing, the NSCCL sends electronic instructions to the depositories/
clearing banks to release pay-out of securities/funds. The depositories and
clearing banks debit accounts of the NSCCL and credit accounts of members.
Settlement is complete upon release of pay-out of funds and securities to custodians/
members.
65
(f) Risk Management : A sound risk management system is integral to an efficient
settlement system. The NSCCL ensures that trading members’ obligations are
commensurate with their net worth. It has put in place a comprehensive risk
management system, which is constantly monitored and upgraded to pre-empt
market failures. It monitors the track record and performance of members and
their net worth; undertakes on-line monitoring of members’ positions and
exposure in the market, collects margins from members and automatically
disables members if the limits are breached. The risk management methods adopted
by NSE have brought the Indian financial market in line with the international
markets.
Settlement Agencies
The NSCCL, with the help of clearing members, custodians, clearing banks and
depositories settles the trades executed on exchanges. The roles of each of these entities
are explained below:
(a) NSCCL : The NSCCL is responsible for post-trade activities of a stock exchange.
Clearing and settlement of trades and risk management are its central functions. It
clears all trades, determines obligations of members, arranges for pay-in of funds/
securities, receives funds/securities, processes for shortages in funds securities,
arranges for pay-out of funds/securities to members, guarantees settlement,
and collects and maintains margins/collateral/base capital/other funds. It is the
counterparty to all settlement obligations of the members.
(b) Clearing Members : They are responsible for settling their obligations as determined
by the NSCCL. They have to make available funds and/or securities in the
designated accounts with clearing bank/depositories, as the case may be, to meet
their obligations on the settlement day.
(c) Custodians : Custodian is a clearing member but not a trading member. They settles
trades assigned to them by trading members. They are required to confirm whether
they are going to settle a particular trade or not. If it is confirmed, the NSCCL
assigns that obligation to that custodian and the custodian is required to settle it on
the settlement day.
(d) Clearing Banks : Every clearing member is required to open a dedicated clearing
account with one of the clearing banks. Based on his obligation as determined through
clearing, the clearing member makes funds available in the clearing account for the
pay-in and receives funds in case of a pay-out.
66
NSCCL. As per the schedule of allocation of securities determined by the NSCCL,
the depositories transfer the securities on the pay-out day from the account of the
NSCCL to those of members/custodians.
(f) Professional Clearing Member : NSCCL admits special category of members namely,
professional clearing members. Professional Clearing Member (PCM) may clear and
settle trades executed for their clients (individuals, institutions etc.). In such an event,
the functions and responsibilities of the PCM would be similar to Custodians. PCMs
may also undertake clearing and settlement responsibility for trading members. In
such a case, the PCM would settle the trades carried out by the trading members
connected to them. A PCM has no trading rights but has only clearing rights,
i.e. he clears the trades of his associate trading members and institutional clients.
Settlement Cycles
NSCCL clears and settles trades as per well-defined settlement cycles, as presented in
Table 4-17. Since the beginning of the financial year 2003, all securities are being traded
and settled under T+2 rolling settlement. The NSCCL notifies the consummated trade
details to clearing members/custodians on the trade day. The custodians affirm back the
trades to NSCCL by T+1 day. Based on the affirmation, NSCCL nets the positions of
counterparties to determine their obligations. A clearing member has to pay-in/pay-out
funds and/or securities. A member has a security-wise net obligation to receive/deliver
a security. The obligations are netted for a member across all securities to determine his
fund obligations and he has to either pay or receive funds. Members’ pay-in/pay-out
obligations are determined latest by T+1 day and are forwarded to them on the same
day so that they can settle their obligations on T+2 day. The securities/funds are paid-
in/paid-out on T+2 day and the settlement is complete in 3 days from the end of the
trading day.
Settlement Statistics
The settlement statistics of the CM segment is presented in Table 4-18. During 2007-08,
NSCCL settled trades for Rs. 3,519,919 crore (US $ 880,640 million.) of which 27.64%
were settled by delivery. However, these deliveries include only the net deliveries made
by the trading members to the clearing corporation. Of total delivery, nearly 100% of
securities were delivered in demat form in 2007-08. Short deliveries averaged around 0.27
of total delivery in 2007-08.
There have been a number of experiments with different risk containment measures in
the recent pasts. NSE being aware of the importance of the risk containment measures has
a dedicated Risk Group which looks into aspects relating to the risk management. These
measures have been repeatedly reviewed and revised. The risk containment measures in
vogue are described below:
67
Capital Adequacy
The capital adequacy requirements stipulated by the NSE are substantially in excess
of the minimum statutory requirements as also in comparison to those stipulated by
other stock exchanges. A person seeking membership in the CM and F&O segment is
required to have a net worth of Rs. 1 crore, and keep an interest free security deposit of
Rs. 1.25 crore and collateral security deposit of Rs. 0.25 crore with the Exchange/NSCCL.
The deposits kept with the Exchange as part of the membership requirement may be used
towards the margin requirement of the member. Additional capital may be provided by
the member for taking additional exposure.
Margin Requirements
• The Stocks which have traded atleast 80% of the days for the previous six months
constitute the Group I and Group II.
• Out of the scrips identified above, the scrips having mean impact cost of less than
or equal to 1% are categorized under Group I and the scrips where the impact cost
is more than 1, are categorized under Group II.
• The impact cost is be calculated on the 15th of each month on a rolling basis
considering the order book snapshots of the previous six months. On the basis of
the impact cost so calculated, the scrips are moved from one group to another group
from the 1st of the next month.
• For securities that have been listed for less than six months, the trading frequency
and the impact cost is computed using the entire trading history of the security
For the first month and till the time of monthly review a newly listed security is
categorised in that Group where the market capitalization of the newly listed security
exceeds or equals the market capitalization of 80% of the securities in that particular
group. Subsequently, after one month, whenever the next monthly review is carried out,
the actual trading frequency and impact cost of the security is computed, to determine
the liquidity categorization of the security.
In case any corporate action results in a change in ISIN, then the securities bearing the
new ISIN are treated as newly listed security for group categorization.
Daily margin, comprises of VaR margin, Extreme Loss margin and Mark to Market
margin.
68
1) Value at Risk Margin :
All securities are classified into three groups for the purpose of VaR margin
For the securities listed in Group I, scrip wise daily volatility calculated using the
exponentially weighted moving average methodology is applied to daily returns in
the same manner as in the derivatives market. The scrip wise daily VaR would be
3.5 times the volatility so calculated subject to a minimum of 7.5%.
For the securities listed in Group II, the VaR margin is higher of scrip
VaR (3.5 sigma) or three times the index VaR, and it shall be scaled up by root 3.
For the securities listed in Group III, the VaR margin is equal to five times the index
VaR and scaled up by root 3.
The index VaR, for the purpose, is higher of the daily Index VaR based on
S&P CNX NIFTY or BSE SENSEX. The index VaR is subject to a minimum
of 5%.
Security specific Margin: NSCCL may stipulate security specific margins for the
securities from time to time.
The VaR margin rate computed as mentioned above is to be charged on the net
outstanding position (buy value-sell value) of the respective clients on the respective
securities across all open settlements. There is netting off of positions across different
settlements. The VaR margin is collected on an upfront basis by adjusting against the
total liquid assets of the member at the time of trade. The VaR margin so collected
is released on completion of pay-in of the settlement.
The VaR numbers are recomputed six times during the day taking into account
price and volatilities at various time intervals and are provided on the website of
the Exchange.
The Extreme Loss Margin for any security is higher of 5%, or 1.5 times the standard
deviation of daily logarithmic returns of the security price in the last six months.
The Extreme Loss Margin collected/ adjusted against the total liquid assets of the
member on a real time basis.
69
The mark to market margin (MTM) is collected from the member before the start
of the trading of the next day. The MTM margin is also collected/adjusted from/
against the cash/cash equivalent component of the liquid net worth deposited with
the Exchange.
An index based market-wide circuit breaker system applies at three stages of the index
movement either way at 10%, 15% and 20%. These circuit breakers bring about a
coordinated trading halt in all equity and equity derivatives markets nation wide. The
breakers are triggered by movement of either S&P CNX Nifty or Sensex, whichever is
breached earlier.
• In case of a 15% movement of either index, there shall be a two-hour halt if the movement
takes place before 1 p.m. If the 15% trigger is reached on or after 1:00 p.m. but before
2:00 p.m., there shall be a one-hour halt. If the 15% trigger is reached on or after
2:00 p.m. the trading shall halt for remainder of the day.
• In case of a 20% movement of the index, trading shall be halted for the remainder
of the day.
NSE may suo moto cancel the orders in the absence of any immediate confirmation from
the members that these orders are genuine or for any other reason as it may deem fit.
The Exchange views entries of non-genuine orders with utmost seriousness as this has
market-wide repercussion. As an additional measure of safety, individual scrip-wise price
bands have been fixed as below:
• Price bands of 20% (either way) on all remaining securities (including debentures,
warrants, preference shares etc. which are traded on CM segment of NSE),
70
The price bands for the securities in the Limited Physical Market as the same as those
applicable for the securities in the Normal Market.
*In order to prevent members from entering orders at non-genuine prices in such securities,
the Exchange has fixed operating range of 20% for such securities.
The Settlement Guarantee Fund (SGF), provides the cushion for any residual risk. It
operates like a self-insurance mechanism where members contribute to the Fund. In the
event of failure of a trading member to meet settlement obligations or committing a default,
the Fund is utilised to the extent required for successful completion of the settlement.
This has eliminated counter-party risk of trading on the Exchange. The market has full
confidence that settlement shall take place in time and shall be completed irrespective of
default by isolated trading members.
As the securities transactions are prone to a variety of manipulations, the Exchange has
instituted a strong surveillance mechanism to protect market integrity. Surveillance
mechanism includes monitoring of orders and trades data, open positions and corporate
information that flow into the market to identify possible market abuse practices. Various
on-line and off-line alerts/reports are generated, on any price/volume movement of
securities not in line with past trends/patterns. Besides, rumors in the print media are
tracked and where they are price sensitive, companies are contacted for verification.
Replies received are informed to the members and the public.
The investigation is based on various alerts which require further analysis. If further
analysis suggests any possible irregular activity which deviates from the past trends/
patterns and concentration of trading at NSE at the client level, then a more detailed
investigation is undertaken. If the detailed investigation establishes any irregular activity,
then disciplinary action is initiated against the member. If the investigation suggests
possible irregular activity across exchanges and/or possible involvement of clients, then
the same is informed to SEBI.
Inspection
As per regulatory requirement, a minimum of 20% of the active trading members are to
be inspected every year to verify the level of compliance with various rules, byelaws and
regulations of the Exchange. Usually, inspection of more members than the regulatory
requirement is undertaken every year. The inspection randomly verifies if investor interests
are being compromised in the conduct of business by the members.

Wholesale Debt Market
Segment 5
102
Wholesale Debt Market Segment 5
The Exchange started its trading operations in June 1994 by enabling the Wholesale Debt
Market (WDM) segment of the Exchange. This segment provides a trading platform
for a wide range of fixed income securities that includes Central government securities,
treasury bills (T-bills), state development loans (SDLs), bonds issued by public sector
undertakings (PSUs), floating rate bonds (FRBs), zero coupon bonds (ZCBs), index bonds,
commercial papers (CPs), certificates of deposit (CDs), corporate debentures, SLR and
non-SLR bonds issued by financial institutions (FIs), bonds issued by foreign institutions
and units of mutual funds (MFs).
To further encourage wider participation of all classes of investors, including the retail
investors, the Retail Debt Market segment (RDM) was launched on January 16, 2003.
This segment provides for a nation wide, anonymous, order driven, screen based trading
system in government securities. The settlement cycle is same as in the case of equity
market i.e., T+2 rolling settlement cycle.
Trading Mechanism
The WDM trading system, known as NEAT (National Exchange for Automated Trading),
is a fully automated screen based trading system that enables members across the country
to trade simultaneously with enormous ease and efficiency. It supports an anonymous
order driven market which operates on a price/time priority and provides tremendous
flexibility to users in terms of orders with various time/price/quantity related conditions
that can be placed on the system. It also provides on-line market information like total
order depth, best buys and sells available, quantity traded, the high, low and last traded
price for securities are available at all points of time.
The WDM Trading system provides two market sub-types: continuous market and
negotiated market. In the continuous market, the buyer and seller do not know each other
and they put their best buy/sell orders, which are stored in order book with price/time
priority. If orders match, it results into a trade. The trades in WDM segment are settled
directly between the participants, who take an exposure to the settlement risk attached
to any unknown counter-party. In the NEAT-WDM system, all participants can set up
their counter-party exposure limits against all probable counter-parties. This enables the
trading member/participant to reduce/ minimize the counter-party risk associated with
the counter-party to trade. A trade does not take place if both the buy/sell participants
do not invoke the counter-party exposure limit in the trading system.
In the negotiated market, the trades are normally decided by the seller and the buyer
outside the exchange, and reported to the Exchange through a trading member for
approval. Thus, deals negotiated or structured outside the exchange are disclosed to
the market through NEAT-WDM system. In negotiated market, as buyers and sellers
know each other and have agreed to trade, no counter-party exposure limit needs to be
invoked.
103
The trades on the WDM segment could be either outright trades or repo transactions with
settlement cycle of T+2 and repo periods (1 to 14 days). For every trade, it is necessary
to specify the number of settlement days and the trade type (repo or non-repo), and in
the event of a repo trade, the repo term and repo rate.
Market Performance
Turnover
The trading volume on the WDM Segment of the Exchange witnessed a year on year
increase of 28.85 % from Rs.219,106 crore (US $ 50,265 million) during 2006-07 to
Rs. 282,317 crore (US $ 70,632 million) during 2007-08. The average daily trading volume
also accelerated from Rs.898 crore (US $ 206 million) during 2006-07 to Rs.1,138 crore
(US $ 285 million) in fiscal 2007-08. The highest recorded WDM trading volume of
Rs. 13,912 crore ( US $ 3,206 million) was registered on August 25, 2003. The business
growth of the WDM segment is presented in Table 5-1 and Chart 5-1.
The security-wise and participant-wise distribution of WDM trades is presented in Table 5-3
and Chart 5-2(a&b). It is observed that the market is dominated by dated government securities
104
(including state development loan), which accounted for 68.84 % of WDM trades during
2007-08. Among the market participants, the trading members accounted for 38.15 % of the
total WDM trades followed by foreign banks which held a share of 27.09 %. Share of Indian
banks in WDM trades declined to 23.78 % during 2007-08 as compared with its share of
26.03 % in the corresponding period last year.
105
The share of top ‘N’ securities/trading members/participants in turnover in WDM
segment is presented in Table 5-4. The share of top ‘10’ securities increased marginally from
51.29 % in 2006-07 to 53.31 % in 2007-08. The share of top ‘50’ and top ‘100’ securities
accounted for 79.64% and 89.55% respectively in the current year.
Market Capitalisation
Market capitalisation of the WDM segment has witnessed a constant increase indicating
an increase in the number of securities available for trading on this segment. Total
market capitalisation of the securities available for trading on WDM segment
stood at Rs. 2,123,346 crore (US $ 53,123 million) as on March 31, 2008. Central
Government securities accounted for the largest share of the market capitalisation
with 65.57%. The details of market capitalisation of WDM securities are presented in
Table 5-5.
Transaction Charges
The Exchange has waived the transaction charges for the Wholesale Debt Market segment
of the Exchange for the period April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009.
Settlement
Settlement is on a rolling basis, i.e. there is no account period settlement. Each order
has a unique settlement date specified upfront at the time of order entry and used as a
matching parameter. It is mandatory for trades to be settled on the predefined settlement
date. The Exchange currently allows settlement periods ranging from same day (T+0)
settlement to a maximum of (T+2) for non-governmentsecurities while settlement of
all outright secondary market transactions in government securities was standardized to
T+1. In case of repo transactions in government securities, first leg can be settled either
on T+0 basis or T+1 basis.
In case of government securities, the actual settlement of funds and securities are effected
directly between participants or through Reserve Bank of India (RBI). All trades in
government securities are reported to RBI-SGL through the Negotiated Dealing System
(NDS) of RBI, and Clearing Corporation of India Limited (CCIL) provides settlement
guarantee for transactions in government securities including repos. The trades are settled
on a net basis through the DvP-III system. In the DvP-III, the settlement of Securities
and Funds are carried out on a net basis.
For securities other than government securities and T-bills, trades are settled on a gross
basis directly between participants on delivery versus payment basis.
106
The settlement details for non-government securities, i.e. certificate no., Cheque no.,
constituent etc. are reported by the member/participant to the Exchange.
The Exchange closely monitors the settlement of transactions through the reporting of
settlement details by members and participants. In case of deferment of settlement or
cancellation of trade, participants are required to seek prior approval from the Exchange.
For any dispute arising in respect of the trades or settlement, the exchange has established
arbitration mechanism for resolving the same.
Subsidiary General Ledger (SGL) account is a facility provided by RBI to large banks
and financial institutions to hold their investments in government securities and
treasury bills in the electronic book entry form. Such institutions can settle their
trades for securities held in SGL through a delivery-versus-payment (DvP) mechanism,
which ensures movement of funds and securities simultaneously. As all investors
in government securities do not have an access to the SGL accounting system, RBI
has permitted such investors to hold their securities in physical stock certificate
form. They may also open a constituent SGL account with any entity authorised by
RBI for this purpose and thus avail of the DvP settlement. Such client accounts are
referred to as constituent SGL accounts.
For retail participants in the market, who otherwise have to hold securities in
physical form and settle their transactions on a bilateral basis, the NSCCL offers
constituent SGL facility. RBI has allowed NSCCL to open SGL and current accounts
for this purpose.
FIMMDA-NSE MIBID/MIBOR
A reference rate is an accurate measure of the market price. In the fixed income
market, it is an interest rate that the market respects and closely matches. On these
lines, NSE has been computing and disseminating the NSE Mumbai Inter-bank Bid Rate
(MIBID) and NSE Mumbai Inter-bank Offer Rate (MIBOR) for the overnight money
market from June 15, 1998, the 14-day MIBID/MIBOR from November 10, 1998
and the 1 month and 3 month MIBID/MIBOR from December 1, 1998. Further
the exchange introduced a 3-day FIMMDA – NSE MIBID / MIBOR on all Fridays
with effect from June 6, 2008 in addition to existing overnight rate. In view of
the robust methodology of computation of these rates and their extensive use by
market participants, these have been co-branded with Fixed Income and Money
Market Dealers Association (FIMMDA) from March 4, 2002. These are now known
as FIMMDA-NSE MIBID/MIBOR. These are presented in Table 5-6. The Chart
5-3 presents overnight MIBID/MIBOR for 2007-08.

The ZCYC depicts the relationship between spot interest rates in the economy
and the associated term to maturity. It provides daily estimates of the term structure
of interest rates using information on secondary market trades in government
securities from the WDM segment. The term structure forms the basis for the valuation
of all fixed income instruments. Modelled as a series of cashflows due at different
points of time in the future, the underlying price of such an instrument is calculated
as the net present value of the stream of cashflows. Each cashflow, in such a
formulation, is discounted using the interest rate for the associated term to maturity;
the appropriate rates are read off the estimated ZCYC. Once estimated, the
interest rate-maturity mapping is used to compute underlying valuations even for
securities that do not trade on a given day. Changes in the economy cause shifts in the
term structure, changing the underlying valuations of fixed income instruments. The
daily ZCYC captures these changes, and is used to track the value of portfolios of
government securities on a day-to-day basis.
Chart 5-4 plots the spot interest rates at different maturities for the year 2007-08
NSE-VaR System
NSE has developed a VaR system for measuring the market risk inherent in Government
of India (GOI) securities. NSE-VaR system builds on the NSE database of daily yield curves
(ZCYC) and provides measures of VaR using 5 alternative methods (variance-covariance
(normal), historical simulation method, weighted normal, weighted historical simulation
and extreme value method). Together, these 5 methods provide a range of options for
market participants to choose from.
109
NSE-VaR system releases daily estimates of security-wise VaR at 1-day and multi-day
horizons for securities traded on WDM segment of NSE and all outstanding GoI securities
with effect from January 1, 2002. Participants can compute their portfolio risk as
weighted average of security-wise VaRs, the weights being proportionate
to the market value of a given security in their portfolio. 1-day VaR (99%)
measure for GoI Securities traded on NSE-WDM on March 30, 2007 is presented
in Table 5-7.
GOI-Bond Index
The increased activity in the government securities market in India and simultaneous
emergence of mutual (gilt) funds has given rise to the need for a well defined Bond Index
to measure returns in the bond market. The NSE-Government Securities Index prices
components off the NSE Benchmark ZCYC, so that the movements reflect returns to
an investor on account of change in interest rates only, and not those arising on account
of the impact of idiosyncratic factors. The index provides a benchmark for portfolio
management by various investment managers and gilt funds. It also forms the basis for
designing index funds and for derivative products such as options and futures. Some of
the salient features of this index are:
• The base date for the index is 1st January 1997 and the base date index value
is 100.
• The index is calculated on a daily basis from 1st January 1997 onwards; weekends
and holidays are ignored.
• The index uses all Government of India bonds issued after April 1992. These
were issued on the basis of an auction mechanism that imparted some amount of
market-relatedness to their pricing. Bonds issued prior to 1992 were on the basis of
administered interest rates.
• Each day, the prices for all these bonds are estimated off the NSE Benchmark-ZCYC
for the day.
• The constituents are weighted by their market capitalisation.
• Computations are based on arithmetic and not geometric calculations.
• The index uses a chain-link methodology i.e. today’s values are based on the previous
value times the change since the previous calculations. This gives the index the ability
to add new issues and remove old issues when redeemed.
• Coupons and redemption payments are assumed to be re-invested back into the
index in proportion to the constituent weights.
• Both the Total Returns Index and the Principal Returns Index are computed.
• The indices provided are: Composite, 1-3, 3-8, 8+ years, TB index, GS index

Trading Mechanism
The derivatives trading system at NSE is called NEAT-F&O trading system. It provides
a fully automated screen-based trading for all kind of derivative products available on
NSE on a nationwide basis. It supports an anonymous order driven market, which
operates on a strict price/time priority. It provides tremendous flexibility to users in
terms of kinds of orders that can be placed on the system. Various time and price related
conditions like Immediate or Cancel, Limit/Market Price, Stop Loss, etc. can be built
into an order. Trading in derivatives is essentially similar to that of trading of securities
in the CM segment.
The NEAT-F&O trading system distinctly identifies two groups of users. The trading user
more popularly known as trading member has access to functions such as, order entry,
order matching and order & trade management. The clearing user (clearing member)
uses the trader workstation for the purpose of monitoring the trading member(s) for
whom he clears the trades. Additionally, he can enter and set limits on positions, which
a trading member can take.
136
Contract Specification
The contract specification for derivative products traded on NSE are summarised in
Table 6-2 & Table 6-3.
The index futures and index options contracts traded on NSE are based on S&P CNX
Nifty Index, CNX IT Index, Bank Nifty, CNX Nifty Junior, CNX 100 and Nifty Midcap
50 while stock futures and options are based on individual securities. Stock futures and
options were available on 228 securities as of June 20, 2008. During January 2008, Mini
futures and options contracts on S&P CNX Nifty were introduced for trading while long
term options contracts on S&P CNX Nifty were introduced in March 2008.
At any point of time there are only three contract months available for trading, with
1 month, 2 months and 3 months to expiry. These contracts expire on last Thursday of
the expiry month and have a maximum of 3-month expiration cycle. If the last Thursday
is a trading holiday, the contracts expire on the previous trading day. A new contract is
introduced on the next trading day following the expiry of the near month contract. All
the derivatives contracts are presently cash settled.
The long term option contracts are available for 3 serial month contracts, 3 quarterly
months of the cycle March / June / September / December and 5 following semi-annual
months of the cycle June / December. Thus, at any point in time there are atleast 3 year
tenure option available.
Stock Options
NSE introduces option strikes on a daily basis based on the price of the underlying. With
regard to options on stocks the Exchange provides a minimum of seven strike prices
for every option type (i.e Call & Put) during the trading month. At any time, there are
atleast three strikes in-the-money (ITM), three strikes out-of-the-money (OTM) and one
strike at-the-money (ATM). The table below gives details of generation of strike price
interval for stock options.
137
Index Options
The number of strikes provided in options on Indices- S&P CNX Nifty, CNX Nifty
Junior, CNX 100, CNX IT, Bank Nifty and Nifty Midcap 50 are related to the range in
which previous day’s closing value of the index falls as per the table below.
• The Exchange may consider introducing derivative contracts on an index if the stocks
contributing to 80% weightage of the index are individually eligible for derivative
trading. However, no single ineligible stocks in the index should have a weightage
of more than 5% in the index.
138
• The above criteria is applied every month, if the index fails to meet the
eligibility criteria for three months consecutively, then no fresh month contract
are issued on that index. However, the existing unexpired contacts are permitted
to trade till expiry and new strikes may also be introduced in the existing
contracts.
For unlisted companies coming out with initial public offering, if the net public offer is
Rs. 500 crore or more, then the Exchange may consider introducing stock options and
stock futures on such stocks at the time of its’ listing in the cash market.
A stock which is dropped from derivatives trading may become eligible once again. In
such instances, the stock is required to fulfill the eligibility criteria for three consecutive
months to be re-introduced for derivatives trading.
The eligibility criteria for stocks for derivatives trading on account of corporate
restructuring is as under. All the following conditions should be met in the case of shares
of a company undergoing restructuring through any means for eligibility to reintroduce
derivative contracts on that company from the first day of listing of the post restructured
company/(s) (as the case may be) stock (herein referred to as post restructured company)
in the underlying market,
a) The Futures and options contracts on the stock of the original (pre restructure)
company were traded on any exchange prior to its restructuring;
b) The pre restructured company had a market capitalisation of at least Rs.1000 crores
prior to its restructuring;
c) The post restructured company would be treated like a new stock and if it is, in the
opinion of the exchange, likely to be at least one-third the size of the pre restructuring
company in terms of revenues, or assets, or (where appropriate) analyst valuations;
and
d) In the opinion of the exchange, the scheme of restructuring does not suggest that
the post restructured company would have any characteristic (for example
extremely low free float) that would render the company ineligible for derivatives
trading.
If the above conditions are satisfied, then the exchange takes the following course of
action in dealing with the existing derivative contracts on the pre-restructured company
and introduction of fresh contracts on the post restructured company
139
a) In the contract month in which the post restructured company begins to trade, the
Exchange introduce near month, middle month and far month derivative contracts
on the stock of the restructured company.
b) In subsequent contract months, the normal rules for entry and exit of stocks in terms
of eligibility requirements would apply. If these tests are not met, the exchange shall
not permit further derivative contracts on this stock and future month series shall
not be introduced.

147
Clearing and Settlement
NSCCL undertakes clearing and settlement of all trades executed on the F&O segment of
the Exchange. It also acts as legal counterparty to all trades on this segment and guarantees
their financial settlement. The Clearing and Settlement process comprises of three main
activities, viz., Clearing, Settlement and Risk Management.
Clearing Mechanism
The first step in clearing process is working out open positions and obligations of
clearing (self-clearing/trading-cum-clearing/professional clearing) members (CMs).
The open positions of a CM is arrived at by aggregating the open positions of all the
trading members (TMs) and all custodial participants (CPs) clearing though him, in the
contracts which they have traded. The open position of a TM is arrived at by summing
up his proprietary open position and clients’ open positions, in the contracts which they
have traded. While entering orders on the trading system, TMs identify orders as either
proprietary or client. Proprietary positions are calculated on net basis for each contract
and that of clients are arrived at by summing together net positions of each individual
client. A TM’s open position is the sum of proprietary open position, client open long
position and client open short position.
Settlement Mechanism
All futures and options contracts are cash settled i.e. through exchange of cash. The
underlying for index futures/options of the Nifty index cannot be delivered. The
settlement amount for a CM is netted across all their TMs/clients, across various
settlements. For the purpose of settlement, all CMs are required to open a separate bank
account with NSCCL designated clearing banks for F&O segment.
Futures contracts have two types of settlements, the MTM settlement which happens on
a continuous basis at the end of each day, and the final settlement which happens on the
last trading day of the futures contract.
• MTM Settlement for Futures : The positions in futures contracts for each
member are marked-to-market to the daily settlement price of the relevant
futures contract at the end of each day. The CMs who have suffered a loss are
required to pay the mark-to-market (MTM) loss amount in cash which is in
turn passed on to the CMs who have made a MTM profit. This is known as
daily mark-to-market settlement. CMs are responsible to collect and settle the
daily MTM profits/losses incurred by the TMs and their clients clearing and
settling through them. Similarly, TMs are responsible to collect / pay losses /
profits from/to their clients by the next day. The pay-in and pay-out of
the mark-to-market settlement are effected on the day following the trade
day (T+1).
148
After completion of daily settlement computation, all the open positions are reset
to the daily settlement price. Such positions become the open positions for the next
day.
• Final Settlement for Futures : On the expiry day of the futures contracts, after the
close of trading hours, NSCCL marks all positions of a CM to the final settlement
price and the resulting profit/loss is settled in cash. Final settlement loss/profit
amount is debited/credited to the relevant CM’s clearing bank account on the day
following expiry day of the contract.
• Settlement Prices for Futures : Daily settlement price on a trading day is the
closing price of the respective futures contracts on such day. The closing price for a
futures contract is currently calculated as the last half an hour weighted average price
of the contract in the F&O Segment of NSE. Final settlement price is the closing
price of the relevant underlying index/security in the Capital Market segment of
NSE, on the last trading day of the Contract. The closing price of the underlying
Index/security is currently its last half an hour weighted average value in the Capital
Market Segment of NSE.
Options contracts have three types of settlements, daily premium settlement, interim
exercise settlement in the case of option contracts on securities and final settlement.
• Daily Premium Settlement for Options : Buyer of an option is obligated to pay the
premium towards the options purchased by him. Similarly, the seller of an option is
entitled to receive the premium for the option sold by him. The premium payable
position and the premium receivable position are netted to compute the net premium
payable or receivable amount for each client for each option contract. The CMs
who have a premium payable position are required to pay the premium amount to
NSCCL which in turn passed on to the members who have a premium receivable
position. This is known as daily premium settlement. CMs are also responsible to
collect and settle for the premium amounts from the TMs and their clients clearing
and settling through them. The pay-in and pay-out of the premium settlement is on
T+1 day (T=Trade day). The premium payable amount and premium receivable
amount are directly credited/debited to the CMs clearing bank account.
• Interim Exercise Settlement : Interim exercise settlement takes place only for
option contracts on individual securities. An investor can exercise his in-the-money
options at any time during trading hours, through his trading member. Interim
exercise settlement is effected for such options at the close of the trading hours, on
the day of exercise. Valid exercised option contracts are assigned to short positions
in the option contract with the same series (i.e. having the same underlying, same
expiry date and same strike price), on a random basis, at the client level. The CM
who has exercised the option receives the actual profit or loss per unit of the option
from the CM who has been assigned the option contract.
149
Exercise settlement value is debited/credited to the relevant CMs clearing bank
account on T+1 day (T=exercise date).
• Final Exercise Settlement : Final Exercise settlement is effected for option positions
at in-the-money strike prices existing at the close of trading hours, on the expiration
day of an option contract. All long positions at in-the-money strike prices are
automatically assigned to short positions in option contracts with the same series,
on a random basis.
For index options contracts, exercise style is European style, while for options
contracts on individual securities, exercise style is American style. Final Exercise is
Automatic on expiry of the option contracts.
The pay-in / pay-out of funds for a CM on a day is the net amount across settlements
and all TMs/clients, in F&O Segment.
NSCCL has developed a comprehensive risk containment mechanism for the F&O
segment. The salient features of risk containment measures on the F&O segment are:
150
• The financial soundness of the members is the key to risk management. Therefore,
the requirements for membership in terms of capital adequacy (net worth, security
deposits) are quite stringent. These requirements have already been explained in
Table 2-1 in Section 2 of this publication.
• NSCCL charges an upfront initial margin for all the open positions of a Clearing
Member (CM). It specifies the initial margin requirements for each futures/options
contract on a daily basis. It follows VaR-based margining computed through SPAN.
The CM in turn collects the initial margin from the trading members (TMs) and
their respective clients.
• The open positions of the members are marked to market based on contract
settlement price for each contract at the end of the day. The difference is settled in
cash on a T+1 basis.
• NSCCL’s on-line position monitoring system monitors a CM’s open position on
a real-time basis. Limits are set for each CM based on his effective deposits. The
on-line position monitoring system generates alert messages whenever a CM reaches
70 %, 80 %, 90 % and a disablement message at 100 % of the limit. NSCCL monitors
the CMs for Initial Margin violation, Exposure margin violation, while TMs are
monitored for Initial Margin violation and position limit violation.
• CMs are provided a trading terminal for the purpose of monitoring the open positions
of all the TMs clearing and settling through him. A CM may set limits for a TM
clearing and settling through him. NSCCL assists the CM to monitor the intra-day
limits set up by a CM and whenever a TM exceed the limits, it stops that particular
TM from further trading.
• A member is alerted of his position to enable him to adjust his exposure or bring
in additional capital. Margin violations result in disablement of trading facility for
all TMs of a CM in case of a violation by the CM.
• A separate Settlement Guarantee Fund for this segment has been created out of
deposits of members.
The most critical component of risk containment mechanism for F&O segment is the
margining system and on-line position monitoring. The actual position monitoring and
margining is carried out on-line through Parallel Risk Management System (PRISM) using
SPAN(R)* (Standard Portfolio Analysis of Risk) system for the purpose of computation
of on-line margins, based on the parameters defined by SEBI.
NSE - SPAN
The objective of NSE-SPAN is to identify overall risk in a portfolio of all futures and
options contracts for each member. The system treats futures and options contracts
uniformly, while at the same time recognising the unique exposures associated with options
portfolios, like extremely deep out-of-the-money short positions and inter-month risk.
* SPAN ® is a registered trademark of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) used here under license.
151
Its over-riding objective is to determine the largest loss that a portfolio might
reasonably be expected to suffer from one day to the next day based on 99% VaR
methodology.
SPAN considers uniqueness of option portfolios. The following factors affect the value
of an option:
v. Strike price
As these factors change, the value of options maintained within a portfolio also changes.
Thus, SPAN constructs scenarios of probable changes in underlying prices and volatilities
in order to identify the largest loss a portfolio might suffer from one day to the next. It
then sets the margin requirement to cover this one-day loss.
The complex calculations (e.g. the pricing of options) in SPAN are executed by NSCCL.
The results of these calculations are called risk arrays. Risk arrays, and other necessary
data inputs for margin calculation are provided to members daily in a file called the SPAN
Risk Parameter file. Members can apply the data contained in the Risk Parameter files,
to their specific portfolios of futures and options contracts, to determine their SPAN
margin requirements.
Hence, members need not execute a complex option pricing calculations, which is
performed by NSCCL. SPAN has the ability to estimate risk for combined futures and
options portfolios, and also re-value the same under various scenarios of changing market
conditions.
NSCCL generates six risk parameters file for a day taking into account price and volatilities
at various time intervals and are provided on the website of the Exchange.
Margins
• Initial margin : Margin in the F&O segment is computed by NSCCL upto client
level for open positions of CMs/TMs. These are required to be paid up-front on gross
basis at individual client level for client positions and on net basis for proprietary
positions. NSCCL collects initial margin for all the open positions of a CM based
on the margins computed by NSE-SPAN. A CM is required to ensure collection
of adequate initial margin from his TMs up-front. The TM is required to collect
adequate initial margins up-front from his clients.
152
• Premium Margin : In addition to Initial Margin, Premium Margin is charged at client
level. This margin is required to be paid by a buyer of an option till the premium
settlement is complete.
• Client Margins : NSCCL intimates all members of the margin liability of each of
their client. Additionally members are also required to report details of margins
collected from clients to NSCCL, which holds in trust client margin monies to
the extent reported by the member as having been collected form their respective
clients.
Position Limits
The market wide limit of open position (in terms of the number of underlying stock)
on futures and option contracts on a particular underlying stock should be 20% of the
number of shares held by non-promoters in the relevant underlying security i.e. free–float
holding. This limit is applicable on all open positions in all futures and option contracts
on a particular underlying stock. The enforcement of the market wide limits is done in
the following manner:
• At end of the day the exchange tests whether the market wide open interest for any
scrip exceeds 95% of the market wide position limit for that scrip. In case it does so,
the exchange takes note of open position of all client/TMs as at end of that day for
that scrip and from next day onwards they can trade only to decrease their positions
through offsetting positions.
• At the end of each day during which the ban on fresh positions is in force for any
scrip, the exchange tests whether any member or client has increased his existing
positions or has created a new position in that scrip. If so, that client is subject to a
penalty equal to a specified percentage (or basis points) of the increase in the position
(in terms of notional value). The penalty is recovered before trading begins next
day.
• The normal trading in the scrip is resumed after the open outstanding position comes
down to 80% or below of the market wide position limit. Further, the exchange
also checks on a monthly basis, whether a stock has remained subject to the ban on
new position for a significant part of the month consistently for three months. If
so, then the exchange phases out derivative contracts on that underlying
153
Trading Member wise Position Limits
The trading member position limits in equity index futures contracts is higher of
Rs.500 Crore or 15% of the total open interest in the market in equity index futures
contracts. This limit would be applicable on open positions in all futures contracts on a
particular underlying index.
The trading member position limits in equity index option contracts is higher of
Rs.500 Crore or 15% of the total open interest in the market in equity index option
contracts. This limit would be applicable on open positions in all option contracts on a
particular underlying index.
The gross open position for each client, across all the derivative contracts on an underlying,
should not exceed 1% of the free float market capitalization (in terms of number of
shares) or 5% of the open interest in all derivative contracts in the same underlying stock
(in terms of number of shares) whichever is higher.
Any person or persons acting in concert who together own 15% or more of the open
interest on a particular underlying index is required to report this fact to the Exchange/
Clearing Corporation. Failure to do so shall be treated as a violation and shall attract
appropriate penal and disciplinary action in accordance with the Rules, Byelaws and
Regulations of Clearing Corporation.
FII & MF Position limits in Index options contracts : FII & MF position limit in all
index options contracts on a particular underlying index is Rs.500 Crores or 15 % of
154
the total open interest of the market in index options, whichever is higher. This limit
would be applicable on open positions in all options contracts on a particular underlying
index.
FII & MF Position limits in Index futures contracts : FII & MF position limit in all
index futures contracts on a particular underlying index is Rs. 500 crores or 15 % of the
total open interest of the market in index futures, whichever is higher. This limit would be
applicable on open positions in all futures contracts on a particular underlying index.
In addition to the above, FIIs & MF’s shall take exposure in equity index derivatives
subject to the following limits:
a) Short positions in index derivatives (short futures, short calls and long puts) not
exceeding (in notional value) the FII’s / MF’s holding of stocks.
b) Long positions in index derivatives (long futures, long calls and short puts) not
exceeding (in notional value) the FII’s / MF’s holding of cash, government securities,
T-Bills and similar instruments.
The FIIs should report to the clearing members (custodian) the extent of the FIIs holding
of stocks, cash, government securities, T-bills and similar instruments before the end of
the day. The clearing member (custodian) in turn should report the same to the exchange.
The exchange monitors the FII position limits. The position limit for sub-account is
same as that of client level position limits.

Investor Grievances, Arbitration 7
Investors are the backbone of the securities market. Protection of their interests is
paramount for NSE. In furtherance of their interests, NSE has put in place systems to
ensure availability of adequate, up-to-date and correct information to investors to enable
them to take informed decisions. It ensures that critical and price-sensitive information
reaching the exchange is made available to all classes of investor at the same point of time.
Such price-sensitive information as bonus announcements, mergers, new line of business,
etc. received from the companies is disseminated to all the market participants through
the network of NSE terminals all over India. Action is initiated by the Exchange where
any kind of price-sensitive information is not provided to the Exchange at the prescribed
time. It ascertains the veracity of rumours and disseminates facts in the interest of investors.
In an attempt to ease the existing system of information dissemination by the listed
companies, NSE launched the electronic interface for listed companies in August 2004.
Under the new system, all corporate announcements including that of Board meetings
which needs to be disclosed to the market is handled electronically in a straight through
and hands free manner. It also conducts various seminars and programs for the investors
all over the country with a view to educate them on their rights and obligations. They
are also made aware of the precautions they need to take while dealing in the securities
market. It makes an audit trail available on request for all transactions executed on NSE
to enable investors to counter-check trade details for the trades executed on his behalf
by the member. It has also prescribed and makes effort to ensure the implementation of
various safeguards like time schedules for issuing contract notes, for receiving funds and
securities purchased by investors, segregation of client funds and securities from those
of members, etc. The Exchange has also launched a facility to verify trades on the NSE
website. Using this facility, an investor who had received a contract note from the trading

Knowledge Initiative 8
Several initiatives have been taken over the last few years to promote the skills of market
participants, to educate and protect the investors and to promote high quality research
about the working of the securities market. In line with this NSE has launched several
initiatives to strengthen the knowledge base of the Indian securities market and to protect
investor interest. Major initiatives in this area are discussed below:
Taking into account international experience and the needs of the Indian financial markets
NSE introduced in 1998 a unique testing and certification programme called National
Stock Exchange’s Certification in Financial Markets (NCFM). This was introduced with
a view for protecting interests of investors in financial markets and more importantly,
for minimizing risks of losses arising out of deficient understanding of markets and
instruments. NCFM is an on-line testing system which tests the practical knowledge
and skills required to operate in the financial markets in a secure and unbiased manner
and awards certificates based on relative merits thus ensuring that the caliber of persons
entering this field is kept high in the best interests of a mature and vibrant market.
The entire process from generation of question paper, testing, assessing, scores reporting
and certifying is fully automated. It allows tremendous flexibility in terms of testing
centres, test dates and test timing and provides easy accessibility and convenience to
candidates.
NCFM offers a comprehensive range of modules covering many different areas in finance
(Table 8-1) In order to strengthen the Corporate Governance Standards, the Corporate
Governance Module was introduced in October 2005. Financial Market: A Beginners
Module was introduced in Feb 2006. This module has been prepared for those who are
keen to acquire some basic but key information about the stock markets as an initial
step towards becoming a more informed investor. This module will act as a means of
satisfying some of the initial queries on the stock markets and has been prepared with
the objective of introducing the functioning and role of the financial markets in India
to all those interested in this topic. The Compliance Officers Module was introduced in
February 2006 with an objective of providing comprehensive knowledge and a proper
understanding of the Acts governing the Securities Markets, Rules and Regulations of the
Exchange, Listing Procedures, etc. This would enable an organization to adhere to the
required compliance standards and not fall short of meeting any existing guidelines.
A Security Auditor for any financial organization is essential and will be well equipped
to handle matters relating to Information Security which includes Confidentiality,
integrity and timely availability of information for implementing efficient business
processes Information security is not just technology related security but much more than
that, covering physical and environmental security, access controls, business continuity
191
planning etc. In view of this, the Information Security Auditors Module was introduced
in October 2006 and consist of two parts Information Security Auditors Module
(Part I) and (Part II). On successfully clearing both the parts, a candidate is provided with a
‘Certified Information Security Auditor for Financial Markets’ certification. The number
of centers from where the NCFM tests are conducted has increased in the recent past.
Currently the NCFM tests are conducted from 66 centers across the country.
NCFM online payment was launched from January 16, 2006 in order to facilitate
candidates to pay their test fees on-line. Online payment can be made by modes of credit
card, debit card, cash or net banking. Candidates can log on to www.nseindia.com and
click on the link ‘NCFM On-line’.
All the NCFM modules were in English language. In response to the requests
received for tests to be conducted in other languages as well, NSE introduced the
Derivatives Market (Dealers) Module in Gujarati and Hindi which was launched on
February 15, 2008 and June 19, 2008 respectively.
Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and NSE have introduced a joint
certification in Financial Markets for standard XI and XII students. This is the first such
exercise to introduce financial literacy in schools and would provide an early exposure to
young adults to the world of finance. The course, titled “Financial Markets Management”
has been introduced by CBSE for academic year 2007 - 2008. Two financial market related
subjects, “Introduction to Financial Markets – I” and “Introduction to Financial Markets
– II” are taught in standard XI and XII students respectively. Students opting for the
course are required to take the NCFM on-line tests in “Financial Markets: A Beginners
Module” in standard XI and both Capital Markets (Dealers) Module and Derivatives
Markets (Dealers) Module, in standard XII. For the first academic year 57 schools and
1307 students have enrolled for this programme and these numbers are likely to increase
substantially in the coming years.
