Sebi Proposes Revisions to Rules on Handling Clients' Unpaid Securities

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has proposed revisions to the framework managing clients' unpaid securities held by brokers and clearing members. The changes aim to streamline processes, reduce operational complexities, and enhance market liquidity by allowing brokers to shorten payment deadlines and enforce quicker release of pledged securities. Proposals include daily reassessment of pledged assets, partial releases upon part payments, and provisions for exceptions in cases like trading suspensions, while maintaining investor safeguards and segregation of client assets.
