Custodial Participant Deals
NSE Clearing provides a facility to entities like FIIs, Mutual Funds, NRIs, Domestic Body Corporates & Domestic Financial Institutions etc. to execute trades through any TM, which may be cleared and settled by their own Clearing Member. To avail this facility the entities are required to take a Custodian Participant (CP) Code from NSE Clearing through the clearing member. The client and clearing member are required to enter into an agreement as per specified format.
Thereafter, all trades executed by such CP through any TM are required to have the CP code in the relevant field on the F&O trading system at the time of order entry. Such trades executed on behalf of a CP are required to be confirmed by their CM (and not the CM of the TM through whom the trade was executed), within the time specified by NSE, using the confirmation facility provided by NSE Clearing to the CMs in the F&O segment.
Till such time the trade is confirmed by the CM of the CP, the same is considered as a trade of the TM and the responsibility of settlement of such trade vests with the CM of the TM. Once the trades have been confirmed by the CM of the CP, they form part of the obligations of the CM of the CP and they shall be responsible for all obligations arising out of such trades including the payment of margins and settlement of obligations.
FII/ sub accounts of FII/MF/Scheme of MF which have been allotted a unique CP code by the Clearing Corporation shall only be permitted to trade on the Exchange.
