I had raised this question earlier as to what will happen to clients deposits, margins lying with such brokers. Apparently no one has any answers yet.

According to a TV channel report Refco-Sify MD said that they had no liquidity problems in India.

Refco meltdown in the US triggers F&O selloff in India
US futures broker Refco’s dramatic meltdown is likely to have an impact on the Indian stock market as the firm was one of the biggest issuers of participatory notes to funds and individuals seeking to invest in India.

Refco fallout may hit Indian investors hard
Local investors and commodity exchanges such as NCDEX and MCX may have to bear the brunt of the Refco turmoil, if some investors lose confidence and stop trading through Refco. Refco has huge exposure in local commodity bourses like MCX and NCDEX through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Refco India.

sorry to be so late replying to this but what happens with refco india was thus. 1) for 4-5 days you could not trade on refco.Third day on you could buy only as much as you sold or vice versa (so as to not increase their exposure in the market as specified by sebi).2) After about the fifth day one could trade again after all checks on margins and market exposure etc had been investigated.I heard thousands of clients left refco in india at this time and they paid back all of them in full.Now things are back to normal and trading is as usual.
