SEBI Approves Net Settlement of Cash Market Fund Obligations for Mutual Funds from April 2027
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has approved a new framework allowing mutual fund schemes to net their fund settlement obligations for outright cash market transactions starting April 1, 2027. This change aims to reduce temporary funding requirements and improve operational efficiency. Netting will be permitted only within individual mutual fund schemes and settlement cycles, excluding transactions involving both purchase and sale of the same security or across different schemes. Securities settlement will continue on a gross basis, maintaining delivery-backed trades.
