4. What is COMTRACK?
Ans. COMTRACK is an electronic web-based system developed and implemented by the
Exchange which facilitates electronic accounting of commodities deposited in the warehouses
approved by the Exchange. COMTRACK facilitates transfer of such deposited commodities
against the obligations arising out of the trades executed on the Exchange trading platform
under the Clearing and Settlement process of the Exchange. The implementation of
COMTRACK is approved by the Forward Markets Commission vide its letter nos.7/2/2010-
MKT-I dated December 28, 2010 and February 14, 2013. The Exchange, over a period of time
has observed that commodities have to be electronically accounted in a unique way and also
the movement of commodities needs to be tracked. The present accounting system is unable to
 cater the intricacies of the commodity markets. Hence a need was always felt for an indigenous
electronic accounting system hence COMTRACK.
Some of the unique features of COMTRACK are

i. Reduced cost and time for depositors.

ii. Unique lot number for all deposit.
iii. On line viewing of warehouse charges.
iv. Stacking and weight tracking information available in detail.
v. Fungibility between spot and futures.
vi. Secrecy, flexibility, control and confidentiality.
vii. Real time view of warehousing charges

NCDEX in its endeavour to offer better services for everyone associated with the Exchange,
has developed this new application which would offer unique benefits associated with
commodity and warehouse management. COMTRACK is a user friendly web based
application connecting the Exchange, Warehouses, Assayers, Members, CP's, Investors and
Clients. It is thus imperative to note that all clients and members desirous of delivering
commodities on the Exchange platform would have to open Accounts in COMTRACK.
