In a significant development for the Indian equity market, the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE) have introduced the T+0 trading settlement cycle. This revolutionary change allows traders to settle trades on the same day they are executed, marking a departure from the traditional T+1 settlement cycle. As a leading law firm specializing in securities and financial regulation, we recognize the profound implications of this transition and stand ready to guide our clients through the evolving regulatory landscape.
What is T+0 Settlement Cycle?
The T+0 settlement cycle, denoted by “T” representing the day of the trade and “0” indicating the day of settlement, enables same-day settlement of trades. Under this system, shares are transferred to the buyer’s account and funds are deposited into the seller’s account on the day of the trade. This streamlined settlement process is expected to enhance market efficiency and liquidity, ultimately benefiting investors and market participants.
Understanding the Regulatory and Operational Guidelines:
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has played a pivotal role in facilitating the implementation of the T+0 settlement cycle. The issuance of operational guidelines by SEBI underscores the regulatory commitment to modernizing the Indian equity market and promoting financial innovation. As a law firm at the forefront of securities regulation, we closely monitor regulatory developments and provide comprehensive legal guidance to clients navigating the evolving regulatory landscape.
