Sebi sticks to deadline for MF pay disclosure

The Securities and Exchange Board of India ( Sebi) has told mutual fund ( MF) houses there will be no extension of its earlier order to them for disclosing the remuneration of their top executives. The deadline for disclosure was Sunday but several fund houses had not complied, saying there was lack of clarity on the issue. There would be no extension, members were told on Sebi’s behalf by the Association of Mutual Funds in India ( Amfi) on Monday. Anyone who’d not complied by Sunday would have till endMonday to do so.

RBI proposes margins on non- centrally cleared derivatives

The Reserve Bank of India ( RBI) on Monday proposed to charge margins on over- the- counter derivatives not cleared by a central counter- party. A central counter- party like Clearing Corporation of India Ltd ( CCIL) takes margins from both parties and guarantees a deal. In the absence of this, parties entering into a contract set aside margins between themselves after signing standardised agreements. India is part of an effort to set global standards to ‘ ring- fence’ the economy from risky derivatives that encourage excessive and opaque risk- taking. By these standards, all over- thecounter derivatives should be traded on exchanges, if possible, or such contracts should be cleared by a central counterparty. So, non- centrally cleared derivatives should be subjected to higher capital requirements and attract margin requirements. Apart from de- risking the system, this will also promote central clearing, RBI’s discussion paper said. “ For the time being, it is proposed to app
