Impact Assessment

The inclusion of Homesfy Realty Limited (HOMESFY) under Long-Term ASM Stage-I significantly increases the cost of trading in this security. The mandatory 100% margin requirement will reduce leverage available to traders and investors, potentially leading to reduced liquidity and higher trading costs. Existing position holders as of May 15, 2026 will need to ensure sufficient margin is available by May 18, 2026 or risk forced liquidation. The absence of any Stage-IV additions means no securities are being shifted to Trade-for-Trade settlement in this circular, limiting the impact to the margin increase for HOMESFY only.

Impact Justification

Direct trading restriction imposing 100% margin on HOMESFY positions; affects existing and new positions from May 18, 2026 with Stage-I ASM classification.
