MIIs launch direct payout settlement for securities to enhance efficiency

Market infrastructure institutions (MIIs), comprising stock exchanges, clearing corporations and depositories, on Sunday announced the successful implementation of the direct payout settlement mechanism for securities. Under this new system, clearing corporations will now transfer securities directly to investors' accounts, replacing the current method where brokers hold securities in a pooled account before passing those on to clients. The initiative, which was implemented on February 25 under the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi), aims at enhancing efficiency, transparency and investor protection, the MIIs said in a statement. By ensuring the seamless and direct credit of securities to clients' demat accounts, the mechanism strengthens market integrity and operational efficiency. However, the direct-payout settlement was initially put on hold on November 12 last year, following some delays during the early beta phase. Launched on November 11 last year

Nifty valuation decent, reasonable, markets may see some correction: Goyal

After some sell-off during the week, Union Minister Piyush Goyal on Saturday opined that the 50-share benchmark Nifty's valuation is decent and reasonable. Goyal, who oversees the commerce and industry portfolio, said that there can be some more correction in the offing for the Indian markets. A forward price-to-earnings ratio of 19 makes the Nifty valuations "decent" and "reasonable". "Some of them (Nifty stocks) may have seen some downfall, but by and large the Nifty still reflects decent valuations," Goyal said, speaking at an event organised by mutual fund industry's lobby grouping Amfi here. "At a P/E ratio of 19 for a developing nation which is the fastest growing country, it (valuation) is still reasonable - some small correction here or there may still happen," he added.
