Investor Protection Fund
BSE set up an Investor Protection Fund (IPF) on July 10, 1986 to compensate the clients who suffer financial loss due to their member being declared as defaulter, in accordance with the Guidelines issued by the Ministry of finance, Government of India. IPF is managed by the Trustees appointed by BSE
The Fund corpus is created as follows:
The Members contribute Re. 0.01 per Rs.1 lakh of gross turnover, which is debited to their General Charges Account. BSE contributes, on a quarterly basis, 1% of the listing fees collected by it. The entire interest earned by BSE on 1% security deposit kept with it by companies making public/rights issues is credited to the Fund. As per the SEBI directive, auction proceeds that have been impounded in certain cases where price manipulation / rigging was suspected are transferred to the Fund. The surplus lying in the account of the defaulters after meeting their liabilities on BSE is released to them after transferring 5% of the surplus amount to this Fund. The interest received on amounts invested from the corpus of the fund is credited to the fund at the end of each financial year.
