There is a need for equity derivatives, interest derivatives and currency derivatives.
There should be phased introduction of the derivative products. To start with, index
futures will be introduced,followed by options on index and options on stocks.
The derivatives trading should take place on a separate segment of the existing stock
exchanges with an independent governing council where the number of trading
members will be limited to 49 percent of the total number. The chairman of the
governing council will not be permitted to trade on any of the stock exchanges.
The derivatives exchange will have online trading and surveillance systems. It will
disseminate trade and price information on real time basis through two information
vending networks.
The trading and the clearing member will have stringent eligibility conditions. At least
two persons should have passed the certification programme approved by SEBI.
The clearing member should deposit a minimum of Rs. 50 lakh with the clearing
corporations and have a minimum networth of 3 crore.
