Straight Through Processing system gets into motion
Mumbai: Institutional transactions in securities are expected to be quicker and cost-effective from Thursday as the Straight Through Processing (STP) system goes into action. STP has become mandatory for all institutional transactions in the equity market from July 1, 2004. The STP is a process-driven mechanism to control all elements of the workflow in a financial transaction that allows electronic capturing and processing of transactions in one pass from the point of origin to settlement.

STP was launched in India in November 2002 and is currently being used by market participants on a voluntary basis. Several STP providers have been providing service to market participants but there was no interoperability between them. The NSE has now set up the ST Central Hub to provide interoperability and ST providers connect to this hub for the purpose of sending and receiving messages between them.
