This one is not written up yet

The definition above is the short version. A full explanation — how it works, a worked example and the exam traps — is still being written. In the meantime the chapter below covers it in context.

Written up from the same chapter

• Action Taken ReportThe reply an entity must upload on SCORES saying what it did about an investor complaint — it is routed straight to the complainant and starts the clock on their right to ask for a review.
• Basis riskThe risk left over after hedging, because the exposure and the contract used to hedge it do not move identically — in size, in expiry date, or in what they are written on.
• Delivery Instruction SlipThe signed form on which a beneficial owner instructs the DP to debit the demat account — no beneficiary account can be debited without one, whether the transfer is on-market or off-market.
• Investor CharterSEBI's published statement of what an investor is entitled to from an intermediary — the services, the rights, the dos and don'ts, and a table of activities with the timeline each one must be completed in.
• Investor Protection FundA trust-administered fund at every stock exchange and depository that compensates clients of a trading member who has been declared a defaulter or expelled, up to a per-investor limit the exchange fixes.
• KYC Registration AgencyA SEBI-created agency that holds an investor's verified KYC record centrally, so that one KYC completed with any securities market intermediary works with all the others.
