In order to provide the facility of early pay-in of shares in CFS the following process will be followed :
 
  • Early pay-in effect at client-level (under the same trading member) sale position in the stock futures of Equity Derivatives segment will be provided on T+2 day against receipt of shares in settlement  pay-out of Equity Cash Segment.

  • On the basis of the details in the said file, the pay-out shares of the Equity Cash Segment pertaining to the concerned member will be set aside and considered for giving effect to early pay-in of shares as aforesaid. In case of   give-up of trades by the trading members in Equity Derivatives Segment, the trading members will be required to mention the CP code in the file and accordingly, the early pay-in effect will be provided to the Clearing Member taking such given-up position.
 
  • The uploaded file will be treated as the member’s instructions for adjusting the shares received by them in pay-out of equity cash settlement to be adjusted as early pay-in for their sale position in stock futures of Equity Derivatives Segment as aforesaid.
