Further, SEBI vide circular dated July 11, 2018 mandated a minimum amount of MRC of Rs.10 crores for Stock Exchanges having Commodity Derivatives Segment (CDS).

Earlier, while granting recognition to Clearing Corporations in 2018, Clearing Corporations were mandated to augment their core SGF/earmark additional funds to the respective target corpus level in the subsequent years.

Recently, SEBI received the representations from Clearing Corporations that the target corpus level prescribed at the time of recognition of Clearing Corporations may be reviewed and methodology for computation of core SGF corpus in Commodity Derivatives Segment may now be harmonised with that of other segments.

Now, SEBI directed that the Clearing Corporations in Commodity Derivatives Segment may now align their core SGF in terms of SEBI circulars dated August 27, 2014 as well as July 11, 2018. The circular shall come into effect from June 01, 2023.
