From T+5 to T+1 and moving ahead to T+0 settlements
🧭 SEBI has announced that settlement cycle for all scrip will move to T+1 from October 1, 2023.
🧭Nearly two decade ago, before automation of depositories, the settlement of trade was done on weekly basis.
🧭 It was reduced to T+3 and then to T+2 in 2003.
🧭 October onwards, the T+1 settlement will apply for all scrips, not just the most popular or highly traded ones.
🧭 The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) Chairperson Madhabi Puri Buch has said that the day is not far when stock market transactions will be settled instantaneously, in T+0 mode. She said the regulator is working with stakeholders to improve the timelines for settlement of transactions and achieve this goal.
