Purchasing & Pledging of GSecs?

Hey @Chetan_Nahata

Commodity futures and options cannot be traded using collateral margins.

We are currently exploring the possibility of offering this option to clients.

Much earlier, the Equity markets were regulated by SEBI and Commodity markets by Forwards Market Commission (FMC). By design, every broker had to obtain membership separately and operate it as 2 different business units.

FMC was then merged with SEBI and SEBI laid down guidelines for unification of the Equity and Commodity businesses. This change is a big because we’ve to merge two different companies, processes have to undergo changes, system related changes and since there’s dependency on RMS vendor, it’s taking an extended period of time.
