Mumbai, Jan 4: The Stock Exchange, Mumbai (BSE) with effect from December 31, 2001 has transfered those stocks into trade-to-trade basis which have failed to comply with norms like, listing agreement, redress the grievances of investors and make arrangements to demat their securities with both the depositories — CDSL and NSDL — as per the guidelines issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) requirements.


Sebi in May, 2001, had issued a notice stating that, trading and settlement of securities of the companies which fail to make demat arrangements with both the depositories by September 28, 2001 should be placed on trade-to-trade basis with effect from December 31, 2001. BSE in a press release to members said, “In order to indicate to investors and members with regard to this category of stocks, on a temporary measure we decided to shift all these stocks to ‘Z’ category.”

‘Z’ group is a separate group of companies created by BSE to warn potential investors that the companies belonging to this group have not complied with various provisions of the listing agreement, or have failed to redress the grievances of the investors. Companies shifted to ‘Z’ group can once again move to respective groups once they make arragements for demating their securities.

BSE in a press release said that the trading and settlement in their securities would only be transferred to their respective groups viz — B1, or B2 group after a period of three months from the date of making such arrangement and trades would be settled on net basis under compulsory rolling settlement on T+5 basis.
