 The Institutional Delivery System (IDS) module facilitates the Custodian Clearing Members "CCM” for clearing and settlement of trades executed by their foreign portfolio investors, through respective Broker Clearing Members "BCM" in any of the Markets, through National Clearing and Settlement System "NCSS". Such IDS transactions are initiated, in any of the NCSS live securities based on Exchange Trade received in NCSS as locked-in contract, by BCM and affirmed by CCM by T+1 within specified time as per Designated Time Schedule “DTS”. In this regard, it has been observed that there has been a delay in affirming significant number of trades executed on behalf of the foreign portfolio investors of the CCM by the respective BCM on May 31, 2017 within the specified time as per the DTS.
