Update: Trading Limits against Credit for Sale (CFS) and Sell restrictions effective 8 May 2023

Update:

In accordance with the latest regulatory updates on Credit for Sale, we have introduced modifications to our Risk Policy. As you might be aware that Credit For Sale benefit can now only be provided after doing the early pay-in of securities

To ensure a seamless transition, these changes will be implemented gradually over time.

Case Selling of Stock Current Revised Phase
(a) From Free Holding 80% 80% Phase 2
(b) CUSA 80% 0% Phase 2
(c) BTST 80% 0% Phase 2
(d) Margin Pledge 80% 80% or (100% less Haircut value whichever is minimum) Phase 1

Consider the below examples for better understanding:
(a) If you sell stock from Free Holding - You will get flat 80% of the CFS benefit
(b) If CUSA stock is sold / You sell stock from CUSA - You will get no CFS benefit
(c) If you buy the stock and sell on the next day (BTST) - You will get no CFS benefit
(d) If you sell stock which is Pledged for Margin - You will get a minimum of 80% or (100% less the haircut value of the stock).

Stock Name Haircut CFS Benefit
Stock A 10% Min (80%, 90%) = 80%
Stock B 15% Min (80%, 85%) = 80%
Stock C 35% Min (80%, 65%) = 65%

We will be rolling out Phase 1 (Case: d) from 10th August, 2023 and we will update the date of implementation of Phase 2 (Cases: a, b, and c).
