' T ' denotes the day which a transaction was done. ' T+1 ' denotes 1 market day following ' T '. ' T+2 ' denotes 2 market days following and so on.


3. What are the regulations with regards to settlement time?

Buyer Securities Settlement

A buyer will have his CDS account credited by T +3. However, if a buyer fails to pay by 12.30pm on T +3, the company then shall 'sell-out' the shares to cover his outlay on T +4.

Seller Securities Settlement

A seller's CDS account is debited by T +3. This also means that a seller's account does not have to be in credit, at the point when he trades. However, he must have shares to the credit of his CDS account on T +2. To settle such trade, he can transfer the required shares into his account on T +2 day itself before 12.30pm.
If a seller fails to have his shares in his CDS account to settle a trade on T +3, his trade will fail and buying-in will be instituted against him on the same day.
