Important Dates

Impact Assessment

This circular has a moderate operational impact on members participating in the Electronic Gold Receipts segment. It does not alter margin requirements or introduce new obligations but provides the necessary scheduling framework for timely compliance. Members must proactively track reporting deadlines, particularly for end-of-month trade dates whose reporting and penalty windows fall in April 2026. Non-compliance risks financial penalties from ICCL.

Impact Justification

Routine monthly operational circular for EGR segment members; important for compliance but does not introduce new rules or affect broader market structure.
