Impact Assessment

This is a standard operational circular with medium impact on F&O segment participants. Members and clearing participants must align their back-office systems and fund management processes with the published schedule. The skip from May 27 settlement to May 29 (bypassing May 28) and the month-end settlement spilling into June 1 are notable operational considerations for fund managers and clearing members managing end-of-month positions.

Impact Justification

Routine operational circular providing settlement schedule for F&O segment; important for members for planning but no regulatory changes or compliance actions required.
