Exchange in recent past has observed that certain members had maintained their bank accounts with co-operative banks. However, members were not able to withdraw the funds from such banks due to restrictions imposed by the regulator on account of regulatory concerns observed. In view of the same, members are hereby advised to maintain client bank accounts with banks designated as Clearing Banks by the Clearing Corporations from time to time. Further, in order to ensure safety of members’ own assets, members are also directed to maintain own/proprietary account with scheduled banks only.
In case, members have maintained client bank accounts and/or own bank account with other than clearing banks or scheduled banks respectively, then members are directed to close such accounts by March 15, 2022.
Members are also requested to note that, as per the requirement of SEBI circular SEBI/HO/MIRSD/MIRSD2/CIR/P/2016/95 dated September 26, 2016 “In case of closure of any of the reported bank accounts, the same shall be communicated to the Stock Exchanges within one week of its closure.”
