SEBI Plans One-Hour Trade Settlement Ahead of Real-Time Settlement in India
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) is advancing efforts to accelerate trade settlements in India's stock market. Following the shift to a T+1 settlement cycle in January, SEBI plans to introduce a one-hour settlement system by March next year as an intermediate step toward real-time or instantaneous settlement. Chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch noted that while one-hour settlement technology is ready, instantaneous settlement requires further development. These changes aim to enhance operational efficiency and fund transfer speed for market participants.
