1. Settlement Process
A buyer will have his CDS account credited by T + 3. However, if a buyer fails to pay by 12.30pm on T + 3, the company then shall ’sell-out’ the shares to cover his outlay on T + 4. For example, if you buy a share on Monday, then the due date for your contract is on Thursday. Should a public holidays falls within 3 days settlement period or on the due date, the new due date will be the subsequent market day.
A seller’s CDS account is debited by T + 3. This also means that a seller’s account does not have to be in credit, at the point when he trades. However, he must have shares to the credit of his CDS account on T + 2. To settle such trade, he can transfer the required shares into his account on T + 2 day itself before 12.30pm.
If a seller fails to have his shares in his CDS account to settle a trade on T + 3, his trade will fail and buying-in will be instituted against him on the same day.
