Sebi Approves Net Settlement of Cash Market Fund Obligations for Mutual Funds from 2027
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has approved net settlement of fund obligations for mutual fund schemes' outright cash market transactions, effective April 1, 2027. This change allows mutual funds to offset purchase and sale obligations within the same scheme and settlement cycle, aiming to reduce temporary funding needs and improve operational efficiency. However, securities will continue to be settled on a gross basis, and netting across different schemes or for non-outright transactions is not permitted.
