Impact Assessment

This is a routine operational circular affecting trading and clearing members who have short delivery obligations in Rolling Settlement DR-617/2026-27. The removal of the restriction on short-delivered members participating in auctions (under the Uniform Membership structure) provides greater flexibility. Members with auction pay-in obligations must ensure timely securities delivery through depositories on April 28, 2026 to avoid further settlement failures. No broad market-wide impact is anticipated beyond the specific counterparties involved in this settlement cycle.
