The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) has introduced a framework under which Clearing Corporations will not collect margin from Trading Members or Clearing Members for clients' subsequent buy or sell positions in the equity cash segment, up to the value of accepted Early Pay-In (EPI) of securities, subject to certain conditions.
In a circular dated October 22, 2026, the market regulator said the facility would apply when a client has a net sell obligation in a settlement and the Clearing Corporation has successfully accepted the EPI request for the securities sold.
