Auction Procedure for Non Delivery of Shares and Internal Netting of Trades

Exchanges follow a T+2 rolling settlement cycle in cash segment. In case of short deliveries on the T+2 day in the normal segment, exchange conducts a buy– in auction on the T+2 day itself and the settlement for the same is completed on the T+3 day. Auction settlement is at the price determined by the exchange, which normally falls within a range of 20% of the previous day close; and the same is debited to the defaulting client ledger. Also bad/short delivery charges and processing fees levied by exchange will be debited to client.

Additionally ATS charges Rs.100 per scrip from the defaulting clients as fine for non-delivery of securities on time and leading to auction.

Internal Netting of Trades

As per the Exchange Settlement Norms the Pay in Obligation for securities are netted at member level and only net obligation is paid in to the exchange. It could be possible that within the clients of ATS, there could be opposite positions in the same scrips, which then, necessitates the internal adjustment/netting. In case a seller client fails to deliver which was to be paid out for the account of another of our clients, such a situation necessitates the Internal Auction. The settlement currently followed is as below:

Auction price of the scrip informed by the NSE for that settlement number or If Auction Price is not available in NSE for a scrip, for that settlement, highest price of the scrip prevailing in the NSE from the first day of the relevant trading period till the day of closing out on the auction day whichever is higher is considered. Generally, the auction day is considered to be T+3 day i.e. the day next to the official settlement day. The seller client will be debited with this settlement prince and the same price will be credited to the buyer client. Additionally ATS charges Rs.100/ per scrip from the defaulting clients as fine for non-delivery of securities on time and leading to auction.

Policy for Quarterly/Monthly Settlement

ATS takes the preference of settlement of clients’ at the time of account opening through the Account Opening Form. While settling the accounts, ATS may retain the requisite securities/funds towards such obligations and may also retain the funds expected to be required to meet margin obligations for next 5 trading days, calculated in the manner specified by the exchanges.

In respect of derivative market transactions, apart from margin liability as on the date of settlement, additional margins (maximum up-to 125% of margin requirement on the day of settlement) to take care of any margin obligation arising in next 5 days may be retained.
In respect of capital market transactions, entire pay-in obligation of funds & securities due from clients as on date of settlement may be retained. Further, in the capital market segment, for next day‟s business, member may retain funds/securities/margin to the extent of value of transactions executed on the day of such settlement in the capital market only.
In case of settling the accounts of regular trading clients (active clients), the Member may retain an amount of up to Rs 10,000/- (net amount across segment and across stock exchanges), only after taking written consent of the client.
The above threshold limit on retention of amount shall not be applicable in case of clients who have not traded even once during the last one month/quarter, as the case may be; i.e settlement shall be done as per the aforesaid SEBI circular, in such cases.
