SEBI Revises Commodity Derivatives Position Limits and Caps Penalties
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has revised position limits and penalty rules for commodity derivatives to ease compliance and improve market risk management. The updated framework caps monetary penalties for client-level open interest violations, linking charges to the extent of breach and capping fines at Rs 2 lakh for violations over 2%. Repeated breaches may lead to stricter exchange actions, including position squaring off. These changes follow stakeholder feedback and aim to facilitate ease of doing business.
