Compliance Requirements

• Trading members must submit client margin reports for each trade date by the specified “Last Date of Margin Reporting”.

Important Dates

Impact Assessment

This circular has a moderate operational impact on all trading members active in the Equity Segment. Members must align their compliance and reporting workflows with the published schedule throughout March 2026. Late or missed margin reports will attract financial penalties. The schedule extends into early April 2026 for trade dates at the end of March, requiring members to maintain reporting vigilance beyond the month end.

Impact Justification

Routine operational circular relevant to all trading members in the Equity Segment; non-compliance with margin reporting deadlines attracts penalties, making adherence important but the circular itself a standard periodic notice.
