SEBI circular on Securities Transfer
Mumbai: According to a circular issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India, stockbrokers and clearing members should transfer securities to their clients' beneficiary accounts within one working day after payout day. The securities lying in the pool account beyond the stipulated one-day will attract a penalty at the rate of six basis points per week on the value of securities.

The circular also asks the exchanges to clear and settle the trades on a sequential basis, and accordingly the pay-in and the payout of the first settlement would be completed before the commencement of the pay-in and payout of the subsequent settlements. The payout from the first settlement would enable brokers to meet pay-in obligations for the subsequent settlements. Further, depositories have been asked to facilitate the inter-depository transfers within one hour and before pay-in for the subsequent settlement begins.
