Impact Assessment

This circular has minimal market impact as it concerns a mock/test exercise with no real financial obligations. It is operationally relevant for NSE members who participate in Offer for Sale (OFS) transactions, as it provides an opportunity to test platform connectivity and bidding workflows. The three test securities (TESTOFS1, TESTOFS2, TESTOFS3) are dummy instruments with floor prices of Rs. 100 and varying tick sizes. Members should use this session to validate their systems ahead of actual OFS events.
