Retail investors can access G-Sec market from Aug 16: RBI

-



Retail investors can access the government securities (G-Sec) market, being used currently by the large institutional players, in a seamless manner from August 16, the Reserve Bank of India said today.

The secondary market in G-Sec predominantly comprises of banks, primary dealers, insurance companies, mutual funds, financial institutions and other institutional investors.

Most of these entities maintain their holdings in G-Secs in their Subsidiary General Ledger (SGL) with the Public Debt Office of the central bank.

RBI aims to facilitate efficient access to the retail individual investor to "the same G-Sec market being used by the large institutional investor in a seamless manner".

"It has been decided to allow Demat Account Holders of NSDL and CDSL to put through trades in Government Securities on the NDS-OM platform through their respective Depository Participant (DP) bank which is an SGL Account Holder and a direct member of NDS-OM and CCIL," RBI said.

An Implementation Group was constituted to recommend specific measures to enable seamless movement of securities from SGL form to demat form and vice versa and to provide demat account holders a functionality to put through trades on Negotiated Dealing System Order Matching (NDS-OM).

Taking into account the recommendations of the Group, RBI said the Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL) was advised to put in place necessary arrangements in coordination with the depositories viz NSDL and CDSL to enable demat account holders to trade on NDS-OM.

"Further operational details of the Scheme will be issued by CCIL separately. The guidelines shall be effective from August 16, 2016," the central bank said in a statement.

Primary members of NDS-OM who are also Depository Participants can grant demat account holders access to the NDS-OM Web Module for placing buy/sell orders directly on NDS-OM.

Individuals holding demat accounts can instruct their Depository Participants to place orders on their behalf.

RBI said that primary members would ensure that demat account holders do not place sell order without sufficient balance of securities in the demat account.

Rupee falls to 5-month low, bond yields continue to rise

Rupee falls to 5-month low, bond yields continue to rise On Wednesday, the rupee ended at 61.5/dollar, a five-month low, compared with its previous close of 60.85/dollar, owing to increased demand for dollars after data showed the US was on a recovery path. There is concern the US might resort to raising interest rates sooner than expected, due to which emerging markets such as India will see outflows. The rupee opened at 61.04/dollar and, during intra-day trade, touched a low of 61.53/dollar. On March 5, it had closed at 61.76 a dollar. Since the beginning of this financial year, the currency has depreciated three per cent. "On Wednesday, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) intervened through state-run banks, but in small volumes. There was not much dollar supply," said Sandeep Gonsalves, forex consultant and dealer, Mecklai & Mecklai. RBI's foreign exchange reserves are only $23 million short of its all-time high of $320.79 billion, recorded on September

Lessons from the Satyam scam

Lessons from the Satyam scam The signs of the Satyam scam should have come almost three weeks before when Ramalinga Raju proposed to buy a controlling stake in sister concern Maytas for around Rs 7,000 crore. When the institutional investors opposed vehemently, the company decided to go against it. Three weeks later on January 7, Raju confessed to 'cooking' Satyam's books. Within the next few days, the share price crashed to almost Rs 10 causing losses of over Rs 5,000 crore to around 300,000 investors. In the past five years, a number of companies have been suspended or fallen into bad times with Pyramid Saimira, Deccan Chronicle and Kingfisher Airlines being some of the more prominent examples. Usually, in such situations, individual investors get caught on the wrong side even if they have invested in such stocks through mutual funds. Sample this: When Satyam declared that they are withdrawing the proposal to buy the controlling stake in Maytas, many brokerage
