Interoperability-FAQs

Q 1) What is Interoperability?

A) Interoperability is a mechanism that allows market participants to choose one clearing corporation to settle the trades, irrespective of the exchange where the trades are executed.

Further, kindly find below the example for your reference:

Client XYZ have carried on a buy transaction of 100 shares of ABC Company in NSE and have sold 100 shares in BSE, here, the net settlement for the day would be (Nil) 0 i.e. (100 – 100)

This is applicable only for rolling/normal settlement.

There is no change for the scrips which are settled on trade to trade basis (no netting).
