• Asset Management CompanyThe company that runs a mutual fund's schemes day to day — appointed by the sponsor or trustees with SEBI's approval, and paid a fee out of the scheme rather than a share of its profits.
• Call moneyUncollateralised overnight lending and borrowing of funds between scheduled commercial banks and primary dealers — the shortest segment of the Indian money market.
• Clearing corporationThe entity that steps between every buyer and seller in the derivatives segment by novation, becoming the counterparty to both sides and guaranteeing that the trade settles.
• Connected personA person whose association with a company in the six months before the act put them, or could reasonably be expected to put them, in a position to access unpublished price sensitive information.
• Credit Information CompanyAn RBI-licensed company that collects borrowers' repayment records from lenders, stores them, and supplies credit information reports and credit scores to specified users.
