The Exchange has scheduled a mock trading session for Equity segment on Saturday, May 10th, 2025
Exchange will be conducting a mock trading session in the Capital Market Segment on Saturday, March 22, 2025.
PNB net banking temporarily unavailable
Punjab National Bank (PNB) net banking will be temporarily unavailable from Saturday, 22 March 2025. We will inform you once the service is restored.
In the meantime, you can continue seamless transactions using alternative payment methods such as UPI, NEFT, and RTGS.
Important Updates on Direct Payout of Securities & Margin Trading Facility (MTF)
The recent updates from SEBI/Stock Exchanges regarding the direct payout of securities to clients’ demat accounts and changes related to the Margin Trading Facility (MTF), aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and reducing risk, will take effect from 25 February 2025.
Key Updates:
Direct Payout of Securities
Exchanges/Clearing Corporations will credit securities directly to your demat account on the settlement date.
You can sell shares on T+1 in normal settlement scenarios. However, selling shares purchased on the previous day will not be possible on settlement holidays.
The direct payout of securities by Exchanges/Clearing Corporations will commence from 25 February 2025 (for trades executed on 24 February 2025).
To mitigate any settlement delays on the first day of the new payout system (25 February 2025), we will temporarily restrict the selling of shares purchased on 24 February 2025.
Going forward, to prevent shares from being lien marked in your account as unpaid securities in favour of Client Unpaid Securities Pledge Account (CUSPA—a designated account for holding unpaid securities), and to avoid the associated depository charges, please ensure a clear credit by 8 AM on the settlement day.
If payments are not received in time, these shares will be marked as Unpaid securities in your account. On receiving payment, the unpaid securities will be released and available as free balance in your account.
In case of a security shortage, the Exchange will identify the shortfall and conduct auctions accordingly.
Margin Trading Facility (MTF) Updates
Discontinuation of OTP-Based Authentication: From 24 February 2025, OTP-based authorization for MTF pledge will no longer be required. Pledges will be processed directly by the Exchanges based on intimation from the stockbroker.
UPI ecosystem players are advised to use only alphanumeric characters for generating UPI transaction ID.
