Policy On Shortage Handling / Close Out / Auction Settlement

In case of Short delivery by the client, the following process shall take place:

When a seller fails to deliver the shares to the exchange , then it is known as short delivery. This is generally occurs when an intra-day short positions are cannot be closed because of illiquidity or stocks hitting the upper circuit in the exchange. The consequences of short delivery are different for the buyer and the seller and are as follows:

For Buyer

• Buyers are notified through an email when a short delivery happens during the settlement day.
• The shares will be credited to the buyer’s Demat account on T+2 days after the exchange holds an auction on T+1 day to procure the short-delivered shares. If the exchange cannot acquire the shares through the auction market, the buyers account will be credited with cash settlement based on the close-out policy.

A. The close out Price will be the highest price recorded in that scrip on the exchange in the settlement in which the concerned contract was entered into and upto the date of auction/close out;

OR

B. 20% above the official closing price on the exchange on the day on which auction offers are called for (and in the event of there being no such closing price on that day, then the official closing price on the immediately preceding trading day on which there was an official closing price),

WHICHEVER IS HIGHER.

For Seller

Once the auction settlement process is closed, the amount blocked towards the short- delivery shall be released after necessary deduction as per the close out policy.

No-Delivery Period

In cases of securities having corporate actions and no ‘no-delivery period’ for the corporate action, all cases of short delivery of cum transactions which cannot be auctioned on cum basis or where the cum basis auction payout is after the book closure/record date would be compulsorily closed out at the closing price of the settlement till the auction day.
