FAQ :

The circular aims to improve the recovery of assets from defaulting members and clients with debit balances to ensure that clients' obligations are met.

They are advised to initiate legal actions to liquidate the movable and immovable assets of defaulter members and debit balance clients within six months of a default declaration.

Clients with a debit balance may have their assets liquidated to the extent of their debit balance to help meet the obligations arising from the member's default.

Stock Exchanges and Clearing Corporations should initiate actions for liquidating assets within six months of a member being declared a defaulter.

They need to make necessary amendments to their bye-laws, rules, and regulations to align with the provisions of this circular.

Stock Exchanges and Clearing Corporations are required to communicate the status of the implementation of this circular to SEBI in their monthly development reports.
