Notice (8): Undefined index: caption [APP/View/Articles/view.ctp, line 241]

January 8: The Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON) is making preparations to reduce the time of clearing and settlement process of stock market from three to two days.

SEBON is making preparations to implement the new provision, which has been included in the policies and programmes of the government for the current fiscal year, from the month of Magh (January 14).

Chairman of SEBON Bhishma Raj Dhungana informed that they are preparing to amend the existing regulation so that the stock market clearance is done within two days.

Dhungana said that they will most likely amend the regulation within January 13 and then direct the CDS and Clearing Limited to implement the decision.

He added that it has become necessary to make the stock market clearance and settlement fast and effective as the stock market has already gone digital. According to Dhungana, there is no need for the customers to reach the office of the broker to transfer the share. The brokers can also transfer money through IPS now. Therefore, the board expects no problem in implementing this new provision.

SEBON is preparing to implement the new provision after conducting a detailed study on whether the two-day settlement is viable in the context of Nepal’s stock market or not.

A committee formed to study the prospect of two-day settlement and clearance had also recommended to reduce the time for the settlement.

CDS and Clearing Limited, which has been involved in stock market clearance and settlement, has already prepared a modality for the settlement in two days.

As per the existing provision, any individual selling their share are entitled to receive the amount of their share within three days while the buyer must also get the share within three days.
