Currently, when you sell shares that were bought today the next day (also known as BTST trade), you receive 80% of the sale proceeds on the same day, which can be used for further trades.
Starting Monday, 19th June 2023, the proceeds received from selling T1 shares (shares that are bought today and are sold on the next day or before delivery of the shares) will not be available for trading on the same day.
This change is due to recent guidelines by NSE, which stops all brokers from giving sale proceeds for T1 shares without doing an Early pay-in (EPI) of shares. To allow the use of sale proceeds for further trades, the shares need to be earmarked for settlement through a process called Early Pay-In (EPI). Since the EPI of securities is not possible for T1 holdings, because they are unsettled, credit against such sales cannot be used for further trades.
Once the EPI of T1 stocks is carried out, the proceeds will be available for trading from T+1 day.
For example; if you buy 100 shares of Reliance on Monday and sell them the next day:
Day | Action | Earlier | From 19th June 2023 |
---|---|---|---|
Tuesday | Sell 100 shares of Reliance | 80% of the sale proceeds were credited on the same day. While remaining 20% on T+1 day. | Entire sale proceeds will be credited to your account on T+1 day |
This does not affect the way sale proceeds are credited for shares that are already credited to your demat account; for this, you will continue to receive 80% of the sale proceeds. Also, note that the fund withdrawal timeline remains the same.
