I am a member of NSE. I usually give some collaterals to my clearing member for taking exposure in FO segment. I like to give approved Liquid funds for Liquid part of collateral rather than Bank FD, as I get some tax benefits in the Liquid funds than Bank FDR. Also, at the end of every 6 months, I should submit my Networth statement to NSE. I should calculate my Networth using L C Gupta method, which is as follows
Format C-1A
Method of computation of Networth as per Schedule VI of SEBI (Stock Brokers and Sub-brokers) (Second Amendment) Regulations, 2013 / Dr. L.C. Gupta Committee Report
The method of computation of Networth as prescribed by Schedule VI of SEBI (Stock Brokers and Sub-brokers) (Second Amendment) Regulations, 2013 is as follows:
All my share holdings like Reliance, Tatasteel, shares would be categorised as “Marketable securities” and I reduce 30% of those value from my Networth. Similarly I did for my holding in liquid funds like, ICICI Liquid fund, L&T liquid and Axis Liquid fund (ISIN INF109K01Q49 , 11537287 , INF917K01JH1). But One person from NSE Called me and told that I should not categorise these liquid funds as “Marketable Securities” because they are not traded in market. Only ETF are “Marketable securities”, Instead I should reduce all the value of my investment in mutual funds as “ (d) Non Allowable Securities (unlisted Shares). “. If I do that my Networth would become lesser than the eligibility criteria to be a member. Therefore, I am forced to invest in Bank FDRs instead of Liquid funds in order to maintain my Networth.
I kindly request you to tell me whether these liquid funds (ISIN INF109K01Q49 , 11537287 , INF917K01JH1) are “Marketable Securities”? This would help myself and my TM friends to a great extent!
