  • Potential mark-to-market losses if auction prices differ from trade prices
  • Penalties and charges as per BSE rules
  • Impact on risk management and client relations

Investor Impact: Clients of buying brokers may experience delayed delivery if securities are sourced through auction rather than normal settlement. The wide range of securities (from blue-chips to small-caps) indicates settlement issues across market segments.
