Sebi Eases Margin Requirements for Trades Using Early Pay-In Facility
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has eased margin requirements for trades backed by early pay-in (EPI) of shares in the cash segment. Clearing corporations will not collect additional margins from trading or clearing members on clients' subsequent buy or sell positions up to the value of securities accepted under the EPI facility. This move aims to reduce margin funding needs, improve capital efficiency, and applies when clients have a net sell obligation and the EPI request is accepted. If clients buy back shares sold under EPI, margin benefits may be adjusted accordingly.
