SEBI Proposes Net Settlement of Cash Market Trades for Mutual Fund Schemes
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has proposed allowing mutual fund schemes to settle cash market fund obligations on a net basis for outright buy or sell transactions within the same settlement cycle. This aims to reduce temporary liquidity pressures and improve settlement efficiency while maintaining gross, delivery-based settlement of securities. The proposal applies at the individual scheme level, excludes transactions involving both buying and selling the same security, and seeks to address operational inefficiencies, especially during index rebalancing and large investor flows. Public comments are invited until September 24, 2026.
