SEBI Announces Introduction of Optional T+0 Settlement Cycle to Boost Market Liquidity
  • This means that the settlement of trades will happen on the same day.
  • In the current T+1 process, investors selling their stocks receive money in their demat accounts on the next trading day.
  • With the T+0 settlement, the money will be credited on the same day of sale.
  • SEBI has proposed that the new settlement process will be implemented in two phases.
  • In the first phase, an optional T+0 settlement cycle is proposed for trades until 1:30 pm, with the settlement of funds and securities to be completed on the same day by 4:30 pm.
  • In the second phase, an optional immediate trade-by-trade settlement for funds and securities will be introduced, allowing trading until 3:30 pm.
  • After this phase is implemented, Phase 1 (optional T+0 settlement) will be discontinued.
  • This change is expected to increase liquidity in the market as it ensures faster access to cash, enabling more money to flow into the market.
