Direct Payout of Securities: If you also invest in the stock market, then this news is useful for you. SEBI, which regulates the market, has extended the deadline to implement the guidelines related to making direct payment of securities directly in the demat account mandatory till November 11.
Earlier, time was given till October 14 for this. This change in the deadline has been made so that it can be implemented easily. The market regulator has taken this decision after receiving representations from major institutions like clearing corporations, exchanges and stock brokers.
Final operational guidelines were to be issued by August 5
A notification was issued by SEBI on June 5. Under this, to improve operational efficiency and reduce risk, the clearing corporation was made mandatory to deposit securities directly into the customer’s demat account. Currently, the clearing corporation deposits the payment of securities into the account of the ‘broker’. After that the ‘broker’ deposits it into the demat account of the concerned investor. In this regard, the clearing corporation had to issue the final operational guidelines by August 5.
However, it was released at the end of August due to long negotiations in the Brokers Industry Standards Forum (Brokers ISF). According to a notification issued a day earlier, SEBI has extended the date of implementation of the rules to November 11 to ensure smooth transition without any disruption in the market after a review meeting and the report of the broker platform.
