Additionally, they also allowed third party vendors to provide software and services to stock brokers. The current framework does not prohibit any exchange or their subsidiaries to provide such services to its members for one or more exchanges.

Shri Sameer Patil, CBO - BSE: “BSE and its subsidiary Marketplace Tech Infra do not charge for BOW and BEST services. These services are even more important because many third party CTCL and IML service providers don’t provide software for new segments of exchanges in time and at a reasonable cost. Our services therefore ensures that all members, especially small-sized members, can remain connected and trade seamlessly without any technological interruptions at no cost. In these uncertain times, BSE via its subsidiary Marketplace Tech Infra will continue to handhold all trading members for business continuity.”
