INTRODUCTION
Securities and Exchange Board of India (Stock Brokers and Sub Brokers) Regulations, 1992 provides for mechanism
for inspection of member-brokers with a view to ascertain whether the member-brokers registered are carrying on the
business in terms of the provisions of the Regulations and also whether the conduct of the member-brokers is in the
overall interest of the capital market and investors. Stock exchanges, being Self Regulatory Organizations (SRO) would
be primarily responsible for ensuring orderly conduct by its member-brokers and also ensuring that the relevant Rules,
Bye-laws, Regulations and directions are being complied with by its member-brokers.
As per Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Circular No. SEBI/SMD/DBA-1/CIR-27/2003/25.06.2003 dated
June 25, 2003; every stock exchange is required to inspect the books of accounts and other documents of at least
20% of its active member-brokers every year including the subsidiaries formed by the Regional Stock Exchange, who
have become members of the stock exchanges, are to be inspected every year.
The purpose of the inspection is to ensure that:

Proper books of accounts, records and documents have been maintained by a member-broker in the manner
specified in Rule 15 of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules, 1957 and Regulation 17 (1) of the Securities
and Exchange Board of India (Stock Brokers and Sub-Brokers) Regulation, 1992.

The member-broker has complied with the Rules, Byelaws and Regulations of the Exchange.

The member-broker has complied with the provisions of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956, the
Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules, 1957, the SEBI Act, 1992 and the Rules and Regulations made thereunder
and SEBI (Stock-Brokers and Sub-Brokers) Rules, 1992.

The member-broker has complied with various notices, circulars, press releases, etc issued by the Ministry of
Finance, SEBI and the Stock Exchange.

The conduct of the member-broker is in the overall interest of the capital market and the member-broker is fair in
dealing with his clients.

2. INSPECTION MECHANISM
The Exchange has set up a separate cell called Inspection cell in the Department of Surveillance & Supervision (DOSS),
which has been entrusted with the responsibility to carry out inspection of the books of accounts, records and other
documents maintained by its member-brokers including their branches.
The Exchange issues letters to the member-brokers selected on the basis of defined criteria informing about the
scheduled date of inspection and advising them to send the Inspection Questionnaire in soft as well as hard copy
form (containing basic information about background and operations of the member) properly filled up alongwith all
the required data and documents before the commencement of inspection.
The Inspecting Team inspects the books and records on a sample basis and prepares inspection report on the
irregularities observed during the course of inspection. Observations/findings of the inspection report are forwarded to
the member-brokers concerned. The member-broker is required to submit his reply on the observations contained in
the Inspection Report, within the stipulated time.
The reply given by the member-broker is then vetted and action against the member-broker for the non-compliances
observed during the inspection, is initiated as per the norms laid down in this regard by the Disciplinary Action Committee
constituted by the Exchange.
The final action initiated is communicated to the member-broker and the member-broker is also advised to take
necessary steps to ensure that such non-compliances do not recur in future.
Further, to ensure compliance by the member-brokers with the recommendations made by the Exchange, the memberbrokers are required to submit a compliance certificate either from their Compliance Officer or from a Chartered
Accountant, within 30 days from the receipt of the final action letter from the Exchange confirming that all the
recommendations made by the Exchange have been implemented by them.

3. MAINTENANCE OF BOOKS OF ACCOUNTS, RECORDS

AND DOCUMENTS
The member-brokers of the Exchange are required to maintain the following books of accounts and records as per
Rule 15 of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Rules, 1957 and Regulation 17 of the SEBI (Stock Brokers and SubBrokers) Regulations, 1992. These books and records are to be preserved for a minimum period of five years as per
the requirements of Regulation 18 of SEBI (Stock Brokers and Sub-Brokers) Regulations, 1992.
It may however, be noted that SEBI has decided that in cases where, copies of documents have been taken by CBI,

REGISTRATION OF CLIENTS.

SEBI, in order to bring uniformity in documentary requirements across different segments and Exchanges and to avoid
duplication and multiplicity of documents, has formulated uniform set of documents to be entered into and maintained
by the member-brokers with their clients and sub-brokers. SEBI vide its circular no.SEBI/MIRSD/DPS-1/Cir-31/2004
dated August 26, 2004 directed that the requirements of SEBI (Stock Brokers and Sub brokers) (Amendment)
Regulations, 2003 relating to change in role of sub brokers and their main brokers, including format of the Model Tripartite
Agreement between broker, sub-broker and clients shall come into effect from December 01, 2004. This was extended

KNOW YOUR CLIENT FORMS (KYC)

SEBI has asked all the member-brokers of the Stock Exchanges to maintain a database of their clients. This concept

Agreement and Tripartite Agreement between Broker-Sub broker and Clients. Different format has been prescribed for
individuals and non-individuals. The stock exchanges/member broker may incorporate any additional clauses in these
documents provided these are not in conflict with any of the clauses in the model document, as also the Rules,
Regulations, Articles, Byelaws, circulars, directives and guidelines.
SEBI has put onus on the member-brokers to complete all the details pertaining to the clients in Know Your Client
form.

the member-broker may also seek additional information, if any, so as to satisfy himself about the antecedents of the
client. It would be brokers responsibility to provide clients details as and when required.
Further, the requirement of obtaining Client Registration Form may be waived for SEBI registered Foreign Institutional
Investor, Mutual Funds, Venture Capital Funds and Foreign Venture Capital Investors, Scheduled Commercial Banks,

12. STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS FOR FUNDS / SECURITIES

A large number of disputes arise between the member-brokers / sub-brokers and their clients pertaining to payments
due to/from the clients. This may be due to non-submission of statement of accounts of funds / securities by the memberbrokers to the clients on a regular basis.
In order to avoid such incidences, member-brokers are advised to adopt the following practices in terms of the Exchange
Notice Nos. 20020906-3 dated September 6, 2002, No. 20030114-9 dated January 14, 2003 and No.20080307-8 dated

statement within 30 days of receipt thereof to the member-broker.

funds and receive or deliver securities from or to the institutional clients directly and not through custodians.

4.

Member-broker should maintain an acknowledgement/confirmation record of dispatch of Statement of Accounts

to the clients.

print-out facility, it would be treated as sufficient compliance, if they send the Statement of Accounts by email or where
a facility has been given to the clients to verify the above statements on the Internet trading terminal itself.

13. COLLECTION OF MARGINS FROM CLIENTS

The mandatory requirement of collection of 10% upfront margin from non-institutional clients has been done away
with the implementation of Comprehensive Risk Management framework w.e.f May 30, 2005. However, SEBI has
decided that, the Members should have a prudent system of risk management to protect themselves from client default
and the quantum, form and mode of collection of margins from the clients is left to the discretion of the member broker
w.e.f. May 30, 2005.
As per SEBI Circular No.MRD/SE/CIR-12/2005 dated May 13, 2005 members are therefore required to have a prudent
system of risk management which has to be well documented in writing and be made accessible to the clients and the
Exchange. (Exchange Notice No.20050513-26 dated May 13, 2005).
In order to provide a level playing field to all the investors in the Cash Market as in the case of Derivatives Market,
SEBI has provided that all the Institutional Trades in the Cash Market would be subject to payment of margins as
applicable to transactions of other investors. To begin with, from April 21, 2008, all institutional trades in the cash market
would be margined on a T+1 basis with margin being collected from the custodian upon confirmation of the trade.
Subsequently, the collection of margins would move to an upfront basis. (SEBI Circular No. MRD/DoP/SE/Cir- 06 /
2008 dated March 19, 2008).

23

14. CLIENT MARGIN INFORMATION

and Mark To Market margins levied by the Exchange.
As per the directions of SEBI, the member brokers are required to inform their clients about the margins levied on
their traded positions on a day-to-day basis by way of either sending the margin information through email or along

15. PRINCIPAL TO PRINCIPAL

TRANSACTIONS
Where a member-broker either buys or sells securities directly from / to his client without entering the client order on
the trading system of the Exchange, then he is said to be entering into transaction on principal-to-principal basis with
his client. Member-brokers are allowed to enter into principalto-principal transactions with their clients, subject to certain
condition.
The following are the requirements regarding transactions on principal-to-principal basis:
1.

Written consent of the client is to be obtained for executing a transaction on principal-to-principal basis, as required
under Section 15 of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956 and Bye-law 199 of the Rules, Byelaws and
Regulations of the Exchange. Such consent from the client is to be obtained within a period of three days of
execution of the transactions. Also separate consent is required to be obtained from a client for each transaction.
One general letter consenting to all the transactions of this nature by a client will not do.

2.

Contract notes issued by the member-brokers to the clients, when dealing with them as principals, are to be
issued in accordance with Form B or BB as prescribed in Regulation 14 of the Rules, Bye-laws and Regulations
of the Exchange.

3.

Such transactions can be entered only as spot delivery contracts and required to be reported to the Exchange on
the same day pursuant to SEBI circular no. SMD/RCG/CIR/(BKG)/293/95 dated March 14, 1995 and Exchange
Notice No.20040306-9 dated March 6, 2004. The Exchange has provided a facility on BOLT to the memberbrokers to report Spot Delivery Bargains using DUS Software.

4.

The transactions done on the spot basis are to be settled on the same day as the date of the contract or on the
next day as provided in section 2 (i) of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956. The Exchange does not
guarantee the settlement of these bargains.

It may be pertinent to mention that when a member-broker is transacting with client on principal-to-principal basis,
much transparency is required. To maintain this transparency, Section 15 of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act,
1956 provides that no member-broker of a recognized Stock Exchange shall in respect of any securities enter into any
contract as a principal with any person other than a member-broker of a recognized Stock Exchange unless he has
secured the consent or authority of such person and discloses in the note, memorandum or agreement of sale or
purchase that he is acting as a principal.
The member-brokers are also required vide Rule 15 (2)(c) of Securities Contracts (Regulations) Rules, 1957, to maintain
and preserve the written consent of the client in respect of contracts entered into as principals.
It may be further noted that for Principal-to-Principal transactions, no brokerage is charged to the client.
Principal-to-Principal transactions cannot be entered into in respect of scrip that is delisted or scrip, trading in which is
suspended. Further the price charged for the scrip for which transaction entered into on Principal-to-Principal basis
should be within the range of open and closing price of the scrip on that date.
Cross Deals and Negotiated Deals
A cross deal is a deal between two clients of the same member-broker and negotiated deal is a deal between two
member-brokers the terms of which have been negotiated by member-brokers between themselves.
SEBI vide its Circular no. SMDRP/POLICY/CIR-32/99 dated September 14, 1999 has directed that all negotiated deals
(including cross deals) are not permitted. As per SEBI directive, all negotiated deals will be permitted only if these are
executed on screen in the price and order matching mechanism of the exchange just like any other normal trade.

Contents:
It has been brought to our notice that some members of the Stock Exchanges are found wanting in the observance of
the following requirements. It is also noticed that when detected, members take the plea of ignorance or market practice
to justify their failure. Members are hereby warned to be careful in future in the observance of the following:
Contract Notes :
(a)

Contract notes should invariably be issued to the clients.

(b)

Such contract notes must conform to statutory format.\

(c)

Brokerage should be shown separately in the contract notes.\

(d)

In case of contracts entered into by members on a principal-to-principal basis with their clients, contract notes
should be issued in Form B and written permission, in respect of each such transaction , should be taken from
clients and preserved by the member.

(e)

Contract notes should be signed by authorised persons.

Service to Investors :
(a)

Brokers should pass on to the clients the correct rate at which the transactions were executed.

(b)

Brokerage should be charged within the limit permitted under the Regulations.

(c)

There should be no unjustified delays between pay-outs and the transmission of shares/monies. If there is a
delay, record of reasons for such delay should be available.

Regulatory Aspects :
(a)

Members should maintain all required books of accounts and other documents.

(b)

There should be compliance with trading restrictions imposed by the Stock Exchange.

(c)

There should be no trading in unlisted securities and in securities prior to their admission to dealings by the
Exchange.

All members may, therefore, note that in case such irregularities as stated above are found during the inspection of
their books of accounts and other documents, they will be liable for disciplinary action including suspension under the
Rules, Bye-laws and Regulations of the Exchange.

Amendments to the Contract Note.

Sub : Amendments to the Contract Note

1.

The members are issuing Contract Notes to their constituents in Form-A or Form-B for the transactions entered
into on their behalf or with them respectively. On the reverse of the Contract Note, important Bye-laws relating to
arbitration, etc., which can be resorted to in the event of any dispute between the contracting parties, are printed.
The Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 has since come into effect with effect from January 25, 1996.
Consequently, the relevant provisions regarding arbitration, etc., contained in the Bye-laws of the Exchange have
been amended after obtaining approval from SEBI and have come into force with effect from August 29, 1998.
The Income-tax Rules, 1962 have also been amended requiring the members to quote PAN No./GIR.No. of the
constituents in all documents pertaining to transactions of a value exceeding Rs.10 lakhs for sale or purchase of
securities.

2.

The sub-brokers appointed by a member are allowed to issue Confirmation Memo to their constituents in respect
of the transactions entered into by them on their behalf. Some of the members have represented to the Exchange
that there is a need to prescribe the format of this Confirmation Memo. Hence, it has become necessary to
incorporate the above changes in the Contract Note and also to devise a format of the Confirmation Memo to be
issued by sub-brokers to their constituents.

3.

The members are hereby informed that, the Governing Board of the Exchange in its meeting held on April 29,
1999, has approved the relevant amendments to the Contract Note to be issued by the members to their constituents
and also the format of the Confirmation Memo to be issued by the sub-brokers to their constituents by adding new
Regulation 14.3 after Regulation 14.2 of the Rules, Bye-laws and Regulations of the Exchange.

4.

The revised formats of the Contract Note in Form A and Form B (Regulation 14.2) and Confirmation Memo Form
C (Regulation 14.3) duly approved by the Governing Board are enclosed as Annexure I, II & III respectively. Also
enclosed are the relevant clauses under the Bye-laws of the Exchange, which are required to be printed on the
reverse of both the Contract Note and Confirmation Memo (Annexure IV). The members are requested to arrange
to take immediate steps to get the Contract Notes printed in the revised formats together with the relevant clauses
on the reverse and also issue Contract Notes to their constituents in the revised formats with the above amendments.
They are also advised to immediately inform their registered sub brokers to issue Confirmation Memo to their
constituents in Form C with the relevant clauses printed on the reverse.

5.

The members are further advised to ensure strict adherence to the revise format of Contract Note and also issue
of Confirmation Memo by their sub-brokers to their constituents. The members may please note that non-issuance
of the Contract Note in the prescribed format, may attract a fine of Rs.10,000/- and such other action as may be
decided by the Exchange.

ISSUANCE OF CONTRACT NOTE CUM BILL

Contents :
Sub: Issuance of Contract Note cum Bill

All the members of the Exchange are required to issue contract notes to their constituents within 24 hours of the
execution of the contract in the formats prescribed in Appendix B to Regulation 14 of the Rules, Bye-laws and
Regulations of the Exchange. The Contract notes issued by the members to their constituents when acting for them
as agents are required to be in Form A, and in Form B when dealing with them as principals.
The Exchange had received representations from many members stating that with the introduction of Rolling Settlements,
issue of separate bills to their clients had become cumbersome. They requested the Exchange to permit them to
include the particulars normally provided in the bills, in the contract notes issued by them to their clients, so that they
need not issue separate bills to their clients.
The Governing Board in its meeting held on October 24, 2002 considered the matter and approved alternate formats
of contract notes, which could be used by the members as contract note cum bill. The suggested alternate formats of
the contract notes, Form AA (alternate for existing Form A) and Form BB (alternate for existing Form B) are enclosed
as Annexure I & II respectively.
Members may however note that the formats of Form AA and Form BB are merely recommendatory in nature and
members are at liberty to include any other additional matter or information therein as they may desire, without diluting/
altering the basic Form A and Form B of the contract note stipulated in Appendix B to Regulation 14.2. There are no
changes in the clauses printed on the reverse of the contract notes and, for the benefit of the members, the same are
enclosed as Annexure-III,
The Governing Board further, decided to add Regulation 14.2.1 to the Rules, Bye-laws and Regulations of the Exchange,
which reads as under:
14.2.1 Members shall, while issuing contract notes in accordance with Regulation 14.2 to their constituents
when acting for them as agents and when dealing with them as principals, be entitled to and may add
such relevant details as they so deem fit to make it a contract note cum bill. Provided, however, that the
content of the contract note as so prescribed by the Governing Board from time to time shall not be
diluted.
In case members require any further clarifications, they may contact the concerned Account Managers of the Membership
Services Department.

NOTICE

1.

Please refer to Exchange Notice No.4914/96 dated August 13, 1996 wherein cetain common irregularities /
deficiencies observed by SEBI while inspecting the books of accounts of the members of the Exchanges were
brought to the notie of the members for their guidance and compliance.

2.

One of the irregularities pointed out therein was that the Contract notes issued by the members do not have preprinted serial numbers.

3.

In this connection, a large number of members has represented to the Exchange that they print Contract Notes on
a continuous stationery. Besides , the Contract Notes issued by them to the Institutions and other constituents
bear different running numbers and fresh set of computer generated running numbers are given to the Contract
Notes on a daily basis. Consequently, it would be difficult for them to use Contract Notes with pre-printed serial
numbers.

4.

The matter was considered by the Governing Board of the Exchange at its meeting held on September 2, 1996
and it was decided that the Contract Notes issued by members should contain all the details as mentioned in the
Form A / Form B prescribed under Appendix 3 to Regulation 14 of the Rules, Bye-laws and Regulations of the
Exchange, but in view of the position stated in paragraph 3 above, it is not necessary for the members to have preprinted serial numbers on the Contract Notes. It should, however, be ensured that the Contract Notes bear
computerized / manual running serial numbers.

5.

It may also be noted that if a back dated Contract Note is issued for a transaction which was not reported to the
Exchange on the relevant day, it may invite penal action against the member.

RE : WAREHOUSING OF TRADES BY INSTITUTIONAL CLIENTS

In terms of Bye-law 247A of the Rules, Bye-laws and Regulations of the Exchange the members are required to issue
Contract Notes to clients for purchase/sale of securities within 24 hours of the execution of transactions.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) had received requests from market participants to permit
warehousing of trades, i.e. execution of firm client order for a large quantity in parts during the same trading cycle
(Settlement) and issue of a single Contract Note at the end of the trading cycle (settlement) at the weighted average
price.
The matter was examined by SEBI and it has since been decided to permit the members of the Exchanges to warehouse
Institutional transactions, subject to the following conditions:
1.

Warehousing would be permitted only in cases of Institutional (Fiis/IFIs/MFs/SCBs) Orders. Thus, any transactions,
done either on own account or on behalf of a non-institutional client, would not be permitted to be warehoused.

2.

Further, even in cases of Institutional orders, warehousing would be permitted where a registered Custodian is
involved in the delivery/receipt of securities.

3.

Warehousing would be permitted for both Purchase and Sale orders through the Normal Book (General Segment)
and it would not be permitted for transactions entered/executed through Negotiated Deal, All or None deal or
any other segment.

4.

The trading system software of the Exchange would provide a unique order number for identifying warehousing
orders at the time of order entry itself.

5.

The executed Warehousing transaction(s) would be parked in a separate Client Warehousing Account opened
for this purpose by the members till they are contracted out.

6.

Daily Margin would be charged by the Exchange on all Warehousing trades at the normal rates.

7.

Members would have to issue a Confirmation Note/Slip at the end of each trading day to the Institutional client for
the partial order executed. Such confirmation Note/Slip is required to be issued within 24 hours of the execution
of partial order. All such Confirmation Notes/Slips so issued would bear the same client code, i.e. code of the
Institutional client placing the order, as also necessary details such as Warehousing Order No., Quantity, Rate and
Date & Time of execution.

8.

The Contract Note should be issued by the members within 24 hours of completion of the order at the weighted
average price. The details of all the trades executed for arriving at this weighted average price should be mentioned
in the Contract Note or as an Annexure to the Contract Note. The Contract Note should bear the same client
code as that on the Confirmation Notes/Slips issued earlier.

9.

The order could be executed over a number of days within the same trading cycle. The carry forward of unexecuted
/ pending portion of the order to the next trading cycle would not be permitted. This would be applicable even in
cases of scrips which are in No Delivery period.

10.

All the warehousing transactions contracted out to Institutional clients should result in payment and deliveries.
Warehoused transactions which do not result in issue of Contract Notes to the Institutional Client would be treated
as transactions on members own account.

11.

The members should maintain adequate records to establish a clear audit trail to trace compliance of the procedures
for execution of Institutional orders through warehousing.

82

12.

The Exchange is making suitable changes in the software to ensure compliance with conditions stipulated by
SEBI. The date of implementation of the above provisions will be intimated to the members in due course.

DIVISION CHIEF

SMD/RCG/CIR/(BKG)/293/95
March 14, 1995

To,
The Presidents/Executive Director
of all the Stock Exchanges.
Dear Sir,
Reporting of spot and off-the-floor transactions.
The issue of reporting spot transactions and off the floor transactions has been taken up with the exchanges on several
occasions.
It has been observed that even though this is a requirement under the exchange regulations, it is not being observed
in actual practice.
The exchange is, therefore, directed to take steps to ensure that:1. Brokers are required to report all transactions done on a spot basis on the same day.
2 Brokers are required to report on the same day all transactions adjusted in their books -whether between
two clients or whether between a client and the broker as a principal.
The exchange is advised to inform us about the steps taken in this regard not later than April 10, 1995. The exchanges
must also send a report to SEBI indicating the trading floor volumes and off-exchanges volumes separately.

Yours faithfully,

sd/R.C. GUPTA

Guidelines
Reporting only Trade :
The member can report only trade on a particular day and settlement of that trade of the following day. To report only
trade the member has to be sure that the reporting status is set to trade. The member will be prompted to enter all
the information except the date of settlement.
Reporting only Settlement :
It may so happen that the member wants to report the settlement of the trade, which he has already reported before.
In this case the member will have to enter all the information pertaining to that trade and then enter the settlement
date of the trade. Here the member has to be sure that the reporting status that is selected is settlement.
Reporting both Trade and Settlement :
If the member wants to report both trade and settlement on the same day, then the reporting status that he selects will
be both. In this case the member can enter the trade details as well as the settlement date to denote that he is settling
the trade on the same day.
Assumptions :

The contract number for reporting both the trade and settlement will be the same

The data will be valid for a particular day.

Everyday the records will be reset.

Through out the day the member can upload the file as many times as you want but only the last file will be considered
as valid.

NOTICE

1.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has, in exercise of the powers conferred by section 10(1) of
the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956, amended the Bye-laws of The Stock Exchange, Bombay by
inserting Bye-law 247A regarding the regulation of transactions between clients and brokers. A copy of the text of
the new Bye-law 247A is enclosed for the information of the members. We have been informed that Notification
in this connection has been published in the Official Gazette of the Government of India. Accordingly, in terms of
section 10(2) of the Securities Contracts (Regulation) Act, 1956, the new Bye-law has come into effect. Members
are, therefore, advised to keep the provision of the new Bye-law 247A in view while conducting their business.

2.

The Salient feature of the new Bye-law 247A are:

a. segregation of clients monies from the brokers own money by operating separate accounts for this purpose.
b. Segregation of clients securities from the brokers own securities and maintenance of separate accounts for this
purpose.
c. Payment of money to clients or delivery of securities to clients within two working days of the pay out.
d. Issuance of the contract note within 24 hours of the execution of the contract.

3.

The new Bye-law also contains provisions by which the broker can close out transactions of the client who fails to
make full payment to the broker or to deliver securities sold within 48 hours of the delivery of the contract note.

4.

For better understanding of all these requirements, the member brokers are requested to refer to the enclosed

General
Contents :

Sub : Payment of monies and delivery of securities by the members to clients

1.

As per Bye-law 247 A of the Rules, Bye-law and Regulations of the Exchange, the members are required to make
payments for securities sold and/ or deliver securities purchased to their clients within two working days of declaration
of the pay-out of the settlement by the Exchange unless a client has requested otherwise.

2.

It is observed that the above provisions were incorporated in the Bye-laws of the Exchange when the transactions
were settled by delivery of securities in physical form which required counting, examination, sorting and addressing
the issue related to settlement objections etc. The Exchange has since introduced T+3 settlement cycle, where
over 99% of the trades are settled in demat mode. The Exchange has also provided a facility to the members of
direct credit of pay-out securities to the beneficiary accounts of their clients on the Pay-out day itself.

3.

In view of the above, and as an investor friendly measure, the Governing Board of the Exchange at its meeting
held on September 13, 2002 has decided that members would henceforth be required to make payment and/ or
deliver securities to their clients within one working day (excluding Saturday, Sunday and Bank holidays) after the
Pay-out of the settlement, unless a client has requested otherwise. This will come into effect from pay-out of
Settlement No.DR-124/02-03, which is scheduled on September 23, 2002.

4.

This measure, it is expected, will benefit the investors and enhance the utilization of funds and securities by them.

5.

The members are requested to please take note of the above and ensure strict compliance with the same. The
failure to adhere to the above decision will invite penal action indicated vide items Nos.11 & 12 of Section I of
Notice No. 130706/2002 dated July 31, 2002.6. In case members require any further clarification, they may please

were not explained the full risk involved by the concerned member. The constituent shall be solely responsible for the
consequences and no contract can be rescinded on that account. You must acknowledge and accept that there can
be no guarantee of profits or no exception from losses while executing orders for purchase and/or sale of a security or

the risks involved in such trading. If you are unsure, you must seek professional advice on the same.
In considering whether to trade or authorize someone to trade for you, you should be aware of or must get acquainted
with the following:1.

BASIC RISKS INVOVLED IN TRADING ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE (EQUITY AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS)

1.1

Risk of Higher Volatility:

Volatility refers to the dynamic changes in price that securities undergo when trading activity continues on the
Stock Exchange. Generally, higher the volatility of a security/contract, greater is its price swings. There may be
normally greater volatility in thinly traded securities/contracts than in active securities/contracts. As a result of
volatility, your order may only be partially executed or not executed at all, or the price at which your order got

128

executed may be substantially different from the last traded price or change substantially thereafter, resulting in
notional or real losses.
1.2

Risk of Lower Liquidity:

Liquidity refers to the ability of market participants to buy and/or sell securities / contracts expeditiously at a
competitive price and with minimal price difference. Generally, it is assumed that more the numbers of orders
available in a market, greater is the liquidity. Liquidity is important because with greater liquidity, it is easier for
investors to buy and/or sell securities / contracts swiftly and with minimal price difference, and as a result, investors
are more likely to pay or receive a competitive price for securities / contracts purchased or sold. There may be a
risk of lower liquidity in some securities / contracts as compared to active securities / contracts. As a result, your
order may only be partially executed, or may be executed with relatively greater price difference or may not be
executed at all.

1.2.1 Buying/selling without intention of giving and/or taking delivery of a security, as part of a day trading strategy, may
also result into losses, because in such a situation, stocks may have to be sold/purchased at a low/high prices,
compared to the expected price levels, so as not to have any obligation to deliver/receive a security.
1.3

Risk of Wider Spreads:

Spread refers to the difference in best buy price and best sell price. It represents the differential between the price
of buying a security and immediately selling it or vice versa. Lower liquidity and higher volatility may result in wider
than normal spreads for less liquid or illiquid securities / contracts. This in turn will hamper better price formation.

1.4

Risk-reducing orders:
Most Exchanges have a facility for investors to place limit orders, stop loss orders etc. The placing of such
orders (e.g., stop loss orders, or limit orders) which are intended to limit losses to certain amounts may not be
effective many a time because rapid movement in market conditions may make it impossible to execute such
orders.

1.4.1 A market order will be executed promptly, subject to availability of orders on opposite side, without regard to
price and that, while the customer may receive a prompt execution of a market order, the execution may be at
available prices of outstanding orders, which satisfy the order quantity, on price time priority. It may be understood
that these prices may be significantly different from the last traded price or the best price in that security.
1.4.2 A limit order will be executed only at the limit price specified for the order or a better price. However, while the
customer receives price protection, there is a possibility that the order may not be executed at all.
1.4.3 A stop loss order is generally placed away from the current price of a stock / contract, and such order gets
activated if and when the stock / contract reaches, or trades through, the stop price. Sell stop orders are entered
ordinarily below the current price, and buy stop orders are entered ordinarily above the current price. When the
stock reaches the pre-determined price, or trades through such price, the stop loss order converts to a market/
limit order and is executed at the limit or better. There is no assurance therefore that the limit order will be
executable since a stock / contract might penetrate the pre-determined price, in which case, the risk of such order
not getting executed arises, just as with a regular limit order.
1.5

Risk of News Announcements:

Issuers make news announcements that may impact the price of the securities / contracts. These announcements
may occur during trading, and when combined with lower liquidity and higher volatility, may suddenly cause an
unexpected positive or negative movement in the price of the security / contract.

1.6

Risk of Rumours:
Rumours about companies at times float in the market through word of mouth, newspapers, websites or news
agencies, etc. The investors should be wary of and should desist from acting on rumours.

129

1.7

System Risk:
High volume trading will frequently occur at the market opening and before market close. Such high volumes may
also occur at any point in the day. These may cause delays in order execution or confirmation.

1.7.1 During periods of volatility, on account of market participants continuously modifying their order quantity or prices
or placing fresh orders, there may be delays in order execution and its confirmations.
1.7.2 Under certain market conditions, it may be difficult or impossible to liquidate a position in the market at a reasonable
price or at all, when there are no outstanding orders either on the buy side or the sell side, or if trading is halted in
a security due to any action on account of unusual trading activity or stock hitting circuit filters or for any other
reason.
1.8

System/Network Congestion:
Trading on NSE/BSE is in electronic mode, based on satellite/leased line based communications, combination of
technologies and computer systems to place and route orders. Thus, there exists a possibility of communication
failure or system problems or slow or delayed response from system or trading halt, or any such other problem/
glitch whereby not being able to establish access to the trading system/network, which may be beyond the control
of and may result in delay in processing or not processing buy or sell orders either in part or in full. You are
cautioned to note that although these problems may be temporary in nature, but when you have outstanding open
positions or unexecuted orders, these represent a risk because of your obligations to settle all executed transactions.

2.

As far as Futures and Options segment is concerned, please note and get yourself acquainted with the following
additional features:-

2.1

Effect of Leverage or Gearing

The amount of margin is small relative to the value of the derivatives contract so the transactions are leveraged
or geared. Derivatives trading, which is conducted with a relatively small amount of margin, provides the possibility
of great profit or loss in comparison with the principal investment amount. But transactions in derivatives carry a
high degree of risk.
You should therefore completely understand the following statements before actually trading in derivatives trading
and also trade with caution while taking into account ones circumstances, financial resources, etc. If the prices
move against you, you may lose a part of or whole margin equivalent to the principal investment amount in a
relatively short period of time. Moreover, the loss may exceed the original margin amount.
A. Futures trading involves daily settlement of all positions. Every day the open positions are marked to market
based on the closing level of the index. If the index has moved against you, you will be required to deposit the
amount of loss (notional) resulting from such movement. This margin will have to be paid within a stipulated time
frame, generally before commencement of trading next day.
B. If you fail to deposit the additional margin by the deadline or if an outstanding debt occurs in your account, the
broker/member may liquidate a part of or the whole position or substitute securities. In this case, you will be liable
for any losses incurred due to such close-outs.
C. Under certain market conditions, an investor may find it difficult or impossible to execute transactions. For example,
this situation can occur due to factors such as illiquidity i.e. when there are insufficient bids or offers or suspension
of trading due to price limit or circuit breakers etc.
D. In order to maintain market stability, the following steps may be adopted: changes in the margin rate, increases in
the cash margin rate or others. These new measures may also be applied to the existing open interests. In such
conditions, you will be required to put up additional margins or reduce your positions.
E. You must ask your broker to provide the full details of the derivatives contracts you plan to trade i.e. the contract
specifications and the associated obligations.

130

2.2.

Risk of Option holders

1.

An option holder runs the risk of losing the entire amount paid for the option in a relatively short period of time. This
risk reflects the nature of an option as a wasting asset which becomes worthless when it expires. An option holder
who neither sells his option in the secondary market nor exercises it prior to its expiration will necessarily lose his
entire investment in the option. If the price of the underlying does not change in the anticipated direction before the
option expires to an extent sufficient to cover the cost of the option, the investor may lose all or a significant part
of his investment in the option.

2.

The Exchange may impose exercise restrictions and have absolute authority to restrict the exercise of options at
certain times in specified circumstances.

2.3

Risks of Option Writers

1.

If the price movement of the underlying is not in the anticipated direction, the option writer runs the risks of losing
substantial amount.

2.

The risk of being an option writer may be reduced by the purchase of other options on the same underlying
interest and thereby assuming a spread position or by acquiring other types of hedging positions in the options
markets or other markets. However, even where the writer has assumed a spread or other hedging position, the
risks may still be significant. A spread position is not necessarily less risky than a simple long or short position.

3.

Transactions that involve buying and writing multiple options in combination, or buying or writing options in
combination with buying or selling short the underlying interests, present additional risks to investors. Combination
transactions, such as option spreads, are more complex than buying or writing a single option. And it should be
further noted that, as in any area of investing, a complexity not well understood is, in itself, a risk factor. While this
is not to suggest that combination strategies should not be considered, it is advisable, as is the case with all
investments in options, to consult with someone who is experienced and knowledgeable with respect to the risks
and potential rewards of combination transactions under various market circumstances.

3.

Dated

NOTICE
Sub : Registration of Sub-Brokers.
Attention of members is drawn to Notice no.54809/2000 dated July 1, 2000, wherein members were advised to deal
only with Sub-Brokers who are registered with SEBI.
2.

It may be noted that Securities & Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has stipulated that no person/entity who may be
acting as a Sub-Broker shall buy, sell or deal in securities unless he is registered with SEBI as a Sub-Broker. SEBI
has further advised that Members of Stock Exchanges who are executing transactions of their clients through
members of other Exchanges are to be treated as a Sub-Broker and accordingly these members should hold a
separate registration as Sub-Brokers. SEBI has put the onus on Members to ensure that their clients are not
acting in the capacity of Sub-Brokers without complying with the said requirement.

3.

It has been observed during the periodical inspections of books of accounts and other documents of the members
that some members deal with Sub-Brokers who are not registered with SEBI and/or deal with persons/entities
who are registered as clients with the members but appear to be acting as Sub-Brokers.

4.

In this connection, it has been decided to carry out inspection of the members books and other documents to
ascertain compliance of the above requirement. It may be noted that apart from levying fine of Rs.25,000/- for
every unregistered Sub-Broker dealt with by the Member (as decided by the Disciplinary Action Committee),
further disciplinary action may be initiated against such members.

5.

Members are once again advised to deal only with Sub-Brokers who are registered with SEBI and to ensure that
their clients are not acting in the capacity of a Sub-Broker.

Notice No. : 54809/2000

Date
: 1st July, 2000
Sub: Members of Stock Exchanges acting as sub-brokers
Members are aware that SEBI has directed that no member of a Stock Exchange shall deal with a person who is acting
as a sub-broker unless he has obtained Certificate of Registration from SEBI to act as a sub-broker under SEBI (Stock
Brokers and Sub-Brokers) Rules & Regulations, 1992. SEBI has put the onus on the member to ensure that his clients
are not acting in the capacity of a sub broker without registration.
2.

With the expansion of BOLT TWSs to centers outside Mumbai, many members of the Exchange have allotted their
BOLT TWSs to members of other Exchanges.

3.

SEBI has clarified that members of Exchanges executing transactions of other clients through the members of
other Exchanges are to be treated as sub brokers. Accordingly, members of Stock Exchanges who also act as
sub-brokers should hold a separate registration with SEBI as a sub broker.

4.

Members are therefore advised that if they have allotted their BOLT TWSs to members of other Exchanges, they
are required to get the members of other Exchanges registered with SEBI as their sub-brokers immediately.

Affiliation of sub-brokers with members
Equity
CONTENTS :

The members are aware that all sub-brokers are required to obtain certificate of registration from Securities and
Exchange Board of India (SEBI) in accordance with SEBI (Stock Brokers & Sub-brokers) Rules and Regulations 1992
without which they are not permitted to buy, sell or deal in securities. The registered sub-broker can deal in securities
only through the member who had recommended his application for registration. A
sub-broker may be affiliated with more than one member provided, he obtains separate registration in each case, from
SEBI.
At present, there are no restrictions on the number of members with whom one sub broker may affiliate, and therefore,
many sub brokers have obtained registration by affiliating themselves with multiple members of this Exchange. This
has in many cases, affected the quality of service provided by the sub-brokers to their clients, and in case of disputes,
there are complications for the concerned members with whom such sub brokers are affiliated.The Governing Board
of the Exchange in its meeting held on January 25, 2003 considered the matter and decided that henceforth, one subbroker can be affiliated with only one member of the Exchange.
In view of the above, the members having sub-brokers who are affiliated with multiple members of this Exchange, are
requested to direct their sub-brokers to select, within a period of 6 months from the date of this Notice, one member
with whom they wish to continue to remain affiliated and should immediately initiate the procedure for cancellation of
registration in respect of all other members of the Exchange.In case of cancellation of the broker - sub broker agreement/
s (except one with whom the sub broker would continue to remain affiliated), the member would be required to intimate
the Membership Department of the Exchange, alongwith a letter from the concerned sub broker and enclose the original
SEBI registration certificate issued to such sub broker.
Further, a copy of the advertisements issued in this regard (original or certified) in a local newspaper where the sub
brokers Registered office/Head office /Corporate office is situated and another in English daily newspaper with wide
circulation should also be enclosed. (Members may refer to Exchange Notice No 93413/2001 dated July 23, 2001 for
further details ).
For cancellation of sub broker registration, members are requested to ensure that their sub brokers have paid the
annual fees to SEBI, till date. Further, subsidiaries of Regional Stock Exchanges, who are members of the Exchange,
should ensure that their sub brokers have paid the requisite turnover based fees to SEBI, prior to forwarding the
applications for cancellation of registration of such sub brokers to the Membership Department. It may however be
noted that a sub-broker of a member of this Exchange can continue to be affiliated with members of any other Stock
Exchange.
In case members require any further clarification in this regard they may please contact their Account Managers or
the Membership Department on Board Nos 22721233 / 34 Extn No 8024 / 8277

A Stock broker/sub-broker of an exchange cannot deal with brokers/sub-brokers of the same exchange
either for proprietary trading or for trading on behalf of clients, except with the prior permission of the
exchange. The stock exchanges while giving such permission, shall consider the reasons stated by the
brokers/sub-brokers for dealing with brokers/sub-brokers of the same exchange and after carrying out due
diligence allow such brokers/sub-brokers to deal with only one stock broker/sub-broker of the same exchange.

3.2

A stock broker/sub-broker of an exchange can deal with only one broker/sub-broker of another exchange
for proprietary trading after intimating the names of such stock broker/sub-broker to his parent stock exchange.

3.3

As per Regulation 15(1) (e) of the SEBI (Stock Brokers and Sub-Brokers) Regulations, 1992 a sub-broker
shall not be affiliated to more than one stock broker of one stock exchange. It is reiterated that a stock
broker of an exchange can deal with only one broker of another exchange on behalf of clients after obtaining
necessary registration as a sub-broker.

4.

Stock Exchanges are directed to implement the above requirement with immediate effect and take necessary
disciplinary action wherever violation of the above provisions are observed.

5.

The undersigned has been authorized to direct the exchanges to

5.1

make necessary amendments to the relevant bye-laws, rules and regulations for the implementation of the
above decision immediately.

The Exchange has been advised by SEBI vide circular no. SEBI/MRD/SE/Cir-32/2003/27/08 dated August 27, 200
regarding proprietary trading terminals.
1.

During the course of inspections carried out by SEBI and stock exchanges of the books of accounts and other
documents of members, it has been observed that certain members are putting large number of orders on proaccount from various locations rather than using pro-account / own Account at the terminals located at the corporate
office from where the owner / directors normally function. It has further been observed that these trades executed
from various locations under pro-account / own account are, many a time, transferred subsequently to the respective
clients in the back office of the members. This practice is in clear violation of the requirement of putting the orders
of clients under the appropriate client code through trading terminals.

2.

With a view to check such misuse of the above facility, if any, the following has been decided:a) Facility of placing orders on own account through trading terminals shall be extended only at one location of
the members as specified / required by the members
b) Trading terminals located at places other than the above location shall have a facility to place orders only for
and on behalf of a client by entering client code details as required / specified by the Exchange / SEBI.
c) In case any member requires the facility of using own account through trading terminals from more than one
location, such member shall be required to submit an undertaking to the stock exchange stating the reason for
using the own account at multiple locations and the Exchange may, on case to case basis after due diligence,
consider extending the facility of allowing use of own account from more than one location.

The above requirements comes into immediate effect. The members are requested to indicate to the Exchange, the
IDs of the trading terminals which will be used to place orders on Own Account within 5 days but not later than
September 13, 2003.
For any clarification in the matter, members may contact any of the following officials.

1.

Ensure that all the TWS ids i.e. BOLT ids which are displayed in your Admin terminal (TWS No. 0) are registered

given through these IML ids. The data uploaded related to IML extensions i.e. Branch code, Dealer code etc. will
be required by your IML vendor for tagging the location id details along with the orders entered into the trading
terminals. Hence, trading members are requested to correct the data and download the same for providing it to
the respective IML vendor. For further clarifications in this regard, please contact your IML vendor.

3.

It has been observed that some of the trading members have registered TWS ids as IML ids and vice-versa by

data uploaded by them is correct in all respects.

4.

Trading members who have entered incorrect data into the system, are required to correct the data as under:

d. Re-submit the correct entries with proper user type i.e. TWS or IML. Also ensure that the new data, which
is uploaded in the system, is correct in all respects.

5.

It is also observed that some of the trading members have still not registered / uploaded the TWS and IML ids
information. Such members are advised to immediately register / upload the required information; failing which,
the Exchange will take a serious view of the matter.
Trading members are once again informed that the persons who operate the trading / IML terminals of the members
are known as approved users and all information regarding such approved users should be duly submitted to the
Exchange. Approved user refers to employees of the member, sub-brokers of the member and remisiers operating

trading members should note that trading / IML terminals should be located only at their Head office, Registered
offices, branches or at the offices of their registered sub-brokers.
Trading members must note that registering / uploading the details of trading terminals is a regulatory requirement
and hence strict disciplinary action will be taken against the trading members if they fail to upload the data or

MRD/DoP/SE/Cir- 19 /05

September 2, 2005

The Executive Directors/Managing Directors/

Administrators of all Stock Exchanges
Dear Sir / Madam,
Sub : Guidelines for execution of block deals on the stock exchanges
1.

SEBI had issued a circular (reference no. SEBI/MRD/SE/Cir-7/2004) on January 14, 2004 on disclosures of details
of bulk deals with a view to impart greater transparency to the market on such transactions executed on the
stock exchanges. In terms of paragraph 1.1 of that circular, a bulk deal constituted of all transactions in a
scrip (on an exchange) where total quantity of shares bought/sold is more than 0.5% of the number of equity
shares of the company listed on the exchange. Thus the quantitative limit of 0.5% could be reached through one
or more transactions executed during the day in the normal market segment.

2.

There is however a felt need of the market to execute large trades through a single transaction easily without
putting either the buyer or the seller in a disadvantageous position. In order to facilitate execution of such large
trades, the stock exchanges are being permitted to provide a separate trading window. A trade, with a minimum
quantity of 5,00,000 shares or minimum value of Rs.5 crore executed through a single transaction on this separate
window of the stock exchange will constitute a block deal as distinguished from bulk deal defined earlier.

3.

A block deal will be subject to the following conditions :

a. The said trading window may be kept open for a limited period of 35 minutes from the beginning of trading
hours i.e. the trading window shall remain open from 9.55 am to 10.30 am.
b. The orders may be placed in this window at a price not exceeding +1% from the ruling market price/previous
day closing price, as applicable.
c. An order may be placed for a minimum quantity of 5,00,000 shares or minimum value of Rs.5 crore.
d. Every trade executed in this window must result in delivery and shall not be squared off or reversed.
e. The stock exchanges shall disseminate the information on block deals such as the name of the scrip, name of
the client, quantity of shares bought/sold, traded price, etc to the general public on the same day, after the
market hours.
f. There is no change in regard to the disclosure of trade details of bulk deals as specified in the earlier SEBI
circular reference no. SEBI/MRD/SE/Cir -7/2004 dated January 14, 2004, and such disclosures shall be continued
to be made by the stock exchanges to the general public on the same day after the market hours.

4.

5.

The stock exchanges shall ensure that all appropriate trading and settlement practices as well as surveillance and
risk containment measures, etc., as presently applicable to the normal trading segment are made applicable and
implemented in respect of the proposed special window also.
The stock exchanges are advised to
a. make necessary amendments to the relevant bye-laws, rules and regulations for the implementation of the
above decision immediately.

208

6.

b.

bring the provisions of this circular to the notice of the member brokers/clearing members of the Exchange
and also to disseminate the same on the website.

c.

communicate to SEBI, the status of the implementation of the provisions of this circular in the Monthly
Development Report for the month of September 2005.

This circular is being issued in exercise of powers conferred under Section 11 (1) of the Securities and Exchange
Board of India Act, 1992, to protect the interests of investors in securities and to promote the development of, and
to regulate the securities market.

Yours faithfully,

The Managing Directors/ Executive Directors/Administrators of all the Stock Exchanges
Dear Sir,
SUB :- MARGIN TRADING AND SECURITIES LENDING AND BORROWING - CLARIFICATION
1.

Please refer to the SEBI Circular SEBI/MRD/SE/SU/Cir-15/04 dated March 19, 2004 on the captioned subject.

2.

Since the notified date for obtaining the new Unique Identification Number (UIN) by the intermediaries registered
with SEBI has been postponed to June 30, 2004 and some intermediaries have informed SEBI that as at present,
they are not in a position to obtain UIN for all their clients availing of margin trading facility in a short period of time
on account of logistic difficulties, it has been decided to allow a further period of 3 months, i.e. up to June 30, 2004,
to the clients who want to avail margin trading facility to obtain an UIN. Till such time the clients obtain the UIN, the
broker shall obtain suitable undertaking from the clients and do due diligence to ensure that the client is not
availing the margin trading facility from more than one broker at any point of time.

3.

The exchanges have submitted that they are in the process of getting their clearing corporation/house registered
as an intermediary under the SEBI securities lending and borrowing scheme (SLS), for handling settlement
shortages. Therefore, pending registration under SLS, the stock exchanges are advised to continue with the
existing system for handling settlement shortages. The exact date of implementation of the close-out procedure
as per the circular No.15/2004 dated 19th March, 2004 would be decided by NSE in consultation with BSE.

4.

The provisions stated under the head Section XI. Arbitration of the Model Margin Trading Agreement enclosed
as annexure 1 to the aforesaid circular, stands deleted, on account of the provisions of clause 1.10 of the circular.

5.

In addition to the above, clauses 1.5.4 and 1.5.5 of the said circular may be read as follows:

1.5.4 The maximum allowable exposure of the broker towards the margin trading facility shall be within the self imposed
prudential limits and shall not, in any case, exceed the borrowed funds and 50% of his net worth. The term
exposure will mean the aggregate outstanding margin trading amount in the books of the broker for all his
clients.
1.5.5 While providing the margin trading facility, the broker shall be prudent and also ensure that there is no concentration
on any single client. In any case, the exposure to any single client at any point of time shall not exceed 10% of the
brokers lendable resource (i.e. borrowed funds for the purpose of margin trading + 50% of net-worth)
6.

The other contents of the circular would remain unchanged.

Yours faithfully,

Mandatory Use of STP system for all Institutional trades executedon the Stock Exchanges
General

April 20, 2004

Sub : Mandatory Use of STP system for all Institutional trades executed on the Stock Exchanges
SEBI vide circular No. DNPD/Cir-22/04 dated April 01, 2004 has, inter-alia, advised that all institutional trades executed
on the stock exchanges would be mandatorily processed through the Straight Through Processing (STP) System w.e.f.
July 01, 2004. A copy of the said SEBI circular, the contents of which are self-explanatory, is enclosed as Annexure- A
for the information of the members.

Annexure- A
PRATIP KAR
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
DNPD/Cir- 22 /04
April 01, 2004
To
All Stock Exchanges, Depositories and Custodians.
Dear Sir,
Mandatory use of STP system for all institutional trades executed on the stock exchanges.
Straight Through Processing (STP) is generally understood to be a mechanism that automates the end to end processing
of transactions of financial instruments. It involves use of a system to process or control all elements of the work flow
of a financial transaction, what are commonly known as the Front, Middle, Back office and General Ledger. In other
words, STP allows electronic capturing and processing of transactions in one pass from the point of order origination
to final settlement. STP thus streamlines the process of trade execution and settlement and avoids manual entry and
re-entry of the details of the same trade by different market intermediaries and participants. Usage of STP enables
orders to be processed, confirmed, settled in a shorter time period and in a more cost effective manner with fewer
errors. Apart from compressing the clearing and settlement time, STP also provides a flexible, cost effective
infrastructure, which enables e-business expansion through online processing and access to enterprise data.
SEBI vide letter dated October 3, 2002 informed the stock exchanges, depositories and custodians that it proposed to
introduce STP for electronic trade processing with a common messaging standard ISO 15022 w.e.f December 2, 2002.
Accordingly, STP was launched in India on November 30, 2002. Currently, STP is being used by the market participants
on a voluntary basis. To facilitate STP, SEBI has also issued circulars SMDRP/POLICY/Cir-15/00 dated December 15,
2000 & circular SEBI/SMD/SE/15/2003/29/04 dated April 29, 2003 which permitted the issue of electronic contract
notes with digital signature obtained from a valid Certifying Authority provided under the Information Technology Act,
2000 (IT Act) and circular no. DNPD/Cir-9/04 dated February 3, 2004 & circular no. SEBI/MRD/SE/Cir-11/2004 dated
February 25, 2004 directing exchanges to amend their bye-laws, rules and regulations for the equity and the debt
segment to streamline the issuance of electronic contract notes as a legal document like the physical contract note.
Exchanges are in the process of amending their bye-laws, rules and regulations.
While several STP Service Providers have been providing STP service to the market participants, however, there was
no inter-operability between the STP Service Providers.
To resolve the issue of inter-operability between the STP Service Providers, it has been decided in consultation with
the stock exchanges and the STP Service Providers that a STP Centralised Hub would be setup. Currently this STP
Centralised Hub has been setup and made operational by NSE. NSE has obtained the necessary approvals from
Department of Telecommunications (DoT) as an Internet Service Provider (ISP). Subsequently this STP Centralised
Hub would be further developed jointly with BSE.
In view of the aforesaid developments, it has been decided that all the institutional trades executed on the stock
exchanges would be mandatorily processed through the STP System w.e.f July 01, 2004. This circular is being issued
to provide adequate notice to the market and market participants about the mandatory use of STP Service for institutional
trades. A circular containing the detailed process flow, role and responsibilities of the STP Service Providers and the
STP Centralised Hub, standard agreement between the STP Service Providers and the STP Centralised Hub would
be issued shortly.
This circular is being issued in exercise of powers conferred by section 11 (1) of the Securities and Exchange Board
of India Act, 1992, read with section 10 of the Securities Contracts(regulation) Act 1956, to protect the interests of
investors in securities and to promote the development of, and to regulate the securities market.
Yours faithfully,
PRATIP KAR

on a mandatory basis from July 1, 2004 :
a.

A contract note in electronic form in the prescribed format (IFN 515 messaging format) shall be issued by the
broker & sent to the custodian and / or the institutional investor.

b.

In case the contract note is processed directly by the institutional investor, the institutional investor shall
send the trade confirmation of acceptance or rejection of the contract note to the broker by using the IFN
598 messaging format. The custodian shall also send the confirmation of acceptance or rejection of such
contract note to the broker using the messaging standard IFN 548.

c.

In case the contract note is processed by the custodian on behalf of the institutional investor, the custodian
shall send the confirmation of acceptance or rejection of the contract note to the broker by using the IFN
548 messaging format.

d.

The institutional investor shall send settlement instructions to its custodian in IFN 540 to IFN 543 messaging
formats to the custodian for the following trade types:

e.

f.

i.

IFN 540: settlement instruction for a clearing house buy trade

260

3.

SEBI vide circular no. DNPD/Cir-9/04 dated February 3, 2004 had prescribed the format of the contract note in
electronic form. After deliberation with the STP service providers and the market participants the following changes
are incorporated to the existing messaging format (IFN 515):
a.

The mandatory requirement of mentioning the relevant bye-laws / rules / regulations of the exchange subject
to which the said contract note is being issued on each contract note stands modified in the following
manner:
i.

The requirement is not mandatory but optional

ii.

The broker shall ensure that the relevant bye-laws / rules / regulations of the exchange subject to
which the contract note is being issued, is mentioned in the broker-client agreement and the tripartite
agreement
between
the
broker-sub-broker-client agreement (if applicable).

iii.

The existing field for the above provision shall not be deleted and may be used as a free text field for
one constituent to communicate remarks (if any) to another constituent.

b.

The clause of payment of consolidated stamp duty for each contract note shall be mentioned in the brokerclient agreement and the tripartite agreement between the broker-sub-broker-client agreement (if applicable).
The said clause may be stated in the free text field (as mentioned in point 3 (a (iii))) of each contract note.

c.

In the field market type (field 70E) a category of TT i.e. trade for trade and OT i.e. Others shall be added
to represent the supplementary categories of market types.

d.

The order time was prescribed as a mandatory field in the contract note. The order time shall now be
included in the optional fields.

e.

There are certain securities which are not de-materalised and hence do not have an ISIN code. For such
securities (where ISIN number is not available) the STP users would be required to input the security code
given by the exchange in the ISIN number field. In case the number length of the exchange scrip code is
shorter than the prescribed field length of 12 characters, the code shall be prefixed with zeros.

f.

In order to maintain a complete audit trail, it is clarified that in case an electronic contract note is rejected,
the custodian (in messaging format IFN 548) or the fund manager (in messaging format IFN 598) shall be
required to send a rejection message to the broker. Only on receipt of the rejection message, the broker
shall cancel the rejected contract note and issue a fresh contract note bearing a new number.

g.

In order to bring in standardisation in the input of the identification codes in the prescribed messaging
standards, it is clarified that the following codes shall be used by the various entities:

h.

i.

Brokers: SEBI registration number (until MAPIN ID is available for every broker)

ii.

Mutual Funds and schemes of Mutual Funds: SEBI registration number for Mutual Funds and Unique
client code issued by the exchanges for schemes (until MAPIN ID is available for each scheme of a
mutual fund)

iii.

exchanges for sub-account (until MAPIN ID is available for each FII and their sub-accounts)

iv.

Custodians: SEBI registration number (until MAPIN ID is available for every custodian)

vi.

enclosed Annexure I.

261

4.

IFN 548 and IFN 598 are enclosed in Annexure II. After consultation with the market participants and confirming
their preparedness, it has been decided to make these messaging formats (in addition to IFN 515) mandatory for
all institutional trades w. e. f. July 1, 2004.

5.

It is reiterated that the STP system shall be initially mandatory for all institutional trades in the equity segment w.
e. f. July 1, 2004.

6.

The standard terms of contract as are required to be mentioned in the Contract Notes as per the Bye-laws and
Regulations of exchanges, which are not contained in electronic contract notes, shall be incorporated in the Client
Broker Agreement or where applicable, the Tripartite Agreement between the stock broker, sub-broker and the

Revision of norms for imposition of late fees / fines / and penalties - Cash Segment
General

The Exchange has reviewed and rationalised the existing norms for imposing late fees, fines and penalties for the
Cash segment. The revised norms have been approved by the Disciplinary Action Committee (DAC) of the Exchange
in its meeting held on October 20, 2005.
A consolidated list indicating the nature of irregularity/violation and the consequential late fees, fines and penalties
that would be levied is enclosed for the information of the Trading Members. The Trading Members may please note
that the consolidated list of revised norms shall be applied for the violations observed during the course of inspection
conducted on or after November 7, 2005.
It may be noted that the actions including fines for violations are only indicative. In case of a large number of instances
of a violation involving large amount of funds / large quantity of securities or instances of repetitive nature, the DAC
may take such strict action as it may deem fit including levy of higher fines / suspension / expulsion.
The Trading Members are once again advised to ensure compliance with the various Rules, Byelaws & Regulations of
the Exchange.
Trading Members require any clarification, they may please contact any of the following officials :

Introduction of norms for imposition of late fees / fines/ and penalties WDM / RDM /
Corporate Debt Segment
General

The Exchange introduced its wholesale debt segment (WDM) for reporting of trades in government securities, in June
2001 (Exchange Notice No.74133/2001 dated January 11, 2001). A Retail Debt Segment (RDM) for executing
transactions in government securities through the Order Matching mechanism was introduced in January 2003
(Exchange Notice No.20030114-17 dated January 14, 2003). The Exchange also streamlined the procedures for
reporting of Spot Market Deals and for execution of Specific Bargains in Corporate Debt Securities in August 2003
(Exchange Notice No.20030806-3 dated August 6, 2003).
The Exchange has laid down prudential norms for carrying out inspection of the Books and Accounts of the Trading
Members in the WDM / RDM segments and also the deals reported in the Corporate Debt segment.
The Exchange has now devised norms for imposing late fees, fines and penalties for the WDM/RDM/Corporate Debt
segment. The norms have been approved by the Disciplinary Action Committee (DAC) of the Exchange in its meeting
held on October 20, 2005.
Statement indicating the nature of irregularity/violation and the consequential late fees, fines and penalties that would
be levied is enclosed for the information of the Trading Members. The Trading Members may please note that these
norms shall be applied for the violations observed during the course of inspection conducted on or after November 7,
2005.
It may be noted that the actions including fines for violations are only indicative. In case of a large number of instances
of a violation involving large amount of funds / large quantity of securities or instances of repetitive nature, the DAC
may take such strict action as it may deem fit including levy of higher fines / suspension / expulsion.
The Trading Members are once again advised to ensure compliance with the various Rules, Byelaws & Regulations of
the Exchange.
In case the Trading Members require any clarification, they may please contact any of the following officials :

Penalty structure for non-registration of client codes by the stipulated time
General

SEBI vide its Letter No. SMDRP/Policy/CIR-39/2001 dated July 18, 2001 has made it mandatory for brokers to use
unique client codes for all their clients. Further, all brokers are required to furnish particulars of their clients to the
Stock Exchanges in respect of all clients having order value of Rs. 1 lakh and above.
SEBI vide its letter dated December 30, 2002 has clarified that consequent to the above directives, w.e.f. January 1,
2003 no member shall be allowed to execute any order having value of Rs. 1 lakh or more for any client without obtaining
the requisite details from the client. SEBI vide this letter further directed the Exchanges to promptly deactivate the
trading terminals of the trading members who do not implement the provisions of Unique Client Code w.e.f. January 1,
2003.
SEBI vide its Circular No. SEBI/MRD/SE/Cir-34 /2003/29/09 dated September 29, 2003 decided to call for the requisite
client details from the brokers on a monthly basis. As per the SEBI Circular, such information for a specific month
should reach the Exchange within 7 working days of the following month.
Attention of trading members is also drawn to Exchange Notice No. 20040609-24 dated June 09, 2004 whereby trading
members were informed that with effect from June 11, 2004 all client codes punched for order value of Rs. 1 lakh and
above on any day, need to be registered strictly by the next working day.
Currently, the Exchange provides members with a daily report on unregistered client codes in respect of all client codes
punched but not registered by the member, for order value of Rs. 1 lakh and above. In addition, the Exchange also
provides members with reports on the total unregistered codes for a month on 3 occasions in the next month, namely
on the 2nd, 5th and 7th working day of the next month. This is being done in order to enable members to register client
code details with the Exchange before the stipulated time towards compliance of SEBI and Exchange requirements.
In order to ensure timely registration of client codes, a penalty scheme is being ntroduced from April 2006 for nonregistration of client codes by the stipulated time. The penalty structure would be as follows
Sr. No.

* No. of unregistered codes

for a month

Fine ( Rs. )

1 to 5

NIL

6 to 20

2000/-

21 to 50

5000/-

More than 50

10000/- and BOLT Terminals to be

deactivated for a single day

Wrongly punched client codes as intimated by the member are reduced from the total number of unregistered
codes to arrive at the final count of unregistered client codes.

The penalty levied for a particular month will be debited through the General Charges bill of the member pertaining to
the succeeding month. To clarify, penalty for not registering the client codes for April 2006 by the stipulated time i.e.
the 7th working day of May 2006 will be debited through the General charges bill pertaining to May 2006.
After imposition of the fine, the member will have to either register the client codes or in case the codes were wrongly
punched, the member would be required to submit details in the prescribed format, within 5 working days of the stipulated
time for registration of the client codes. In case a member fails to do so, his BOLT terminal would be liable for deactivation
/ continue to remain deactivated till this is done.

290

The above penalty structure would be implemented from the month of April 2006. Consequently, all client codes punched
for order-value of Rs.1 lakh and above from April 1, 2006 and which have not been registered by the trading member
with the Exchange before the stipulated date, will attract the penalty as given above. Trading members are advised in
their own interest to strictly ensure registration of all client codes by the stipulated time.
