ST Da/Members,
In reference to recent news of default by IL&FS to brokers, request your inputs for following questions:
1) If funds have been received back by clients. If not, by when funds will be made available. Is there any time limit by law?
2) Some articles mentioned that brokers allowed their F&O positions to remain open at expiry, thereby making physical settlement necessary. To the extent I understand, this was probably also not honoured. If this leads to shortfalls/delivery issues at client level, how would it be resolved? Will clients made liable for not fault of theirs?
3) Will payment guarantee settlement fund of stock exchanges liable to make good such default? If yes, is there any limits?
I think many of our trader friends would also have these queries. Clarity will help us all. Thanks

The clients have full right to receive the funds if they are receivable in that settlement, as the counterparty in every trade is NSE and not ILFS...so clients will get their money back provided it is a genuine transaction and not a transaction to take out the money...but the matter has gone to the court and there could be delay...
If the delivery obligations are not met, NSE will auction and debit the loss to the defaulting brokers....who will recover from their clients...
NSE has a huge settlement guarantee fund so it wont have any default and investors money will be safe.Rs 300-400 Cr default is a small change for NSE settlement guarantee fund....
