Sebi chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey on Saturday urged investors, especially retail ones, to remain patient, terming it the "best strategy" in uncertain times. In remarks made amid the Middle East conflict-induced selling pressures in the markets, Pandey said past episodes of turbulence in markets like the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic or the Russia-Ukraine conflict have shown that things stabilise eventually.

Receivables eligible for such intraday borrowings include maturity proceeds from TREPS (Triparty Repo in Government Securities), proceeds from reverse repo transactions, maturity proceeds from government securities s
