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

• Corporate actionAn event initiated by a company that changes the securities it has issued — dividend, buyback, bonus, split, consolidation, rights issue or merger — and which the registrar has to execute investor by investor.
• Cut-off timeThe SEBI-prescribed clock time that, read together with the time stamp on the request, decides which day's NAV a mutual fund transaction is priced at.
• Market Infrastructure InstitutionsThe institutions that form the plumbing of the securities market — stock exchanges, depositories and clearing corporations, and under SEBI's cyber framework also KRAs and QRTAs.
• Official Point of AcceptanceA location a mutual fund has formally designated to receive transaction requests, where the application is time-stamped — and that stamp, not the moment the investor handed the form over, decides which NAV applies.
• Registrar and Transfer AgentThe SEBI-registered agency that keeps the investor records of a mutual fund — processing purchases and redemptions, updating folios and unit capital, and issuing account statements.
