Under the T+0 system, transactions are settled on the same day they are executed. This means shares would be transferred to the buyer’s account and funds credited to the seller’s account on the day of the trade itself.
In a related move, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has reduced the number of reporting formats from over 200 to 23 by introducing unified file formats adhering to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards.
SEBI expects this simplification to cut operational expenses and save around 2 billion rupees over the next five years. The new standardized reporting format improves the ease of doing business and operational efficiency for market participants, reducing the complexity of daily reporting.
