The decision, based on the recommendation received from Brokers' Industry Standards Forum, is aimed at facilitating ease of doing investment to NRIs for trading in exchange traded derivatives contracts and bringing in operational efficiency.
"It has been decided to do away with the mandatory requirement of NRIs having to notify the names of the clearing member/s and subsequent assignment of CP code to the NRIs by the exchange," Sebi said in its circular.
For NRIs trading in exchange-traded derivative contracts without CP code, the exchange/clearing corporation would monitor the NRI position limits in the manner similar to the client-level position limits monitored by them, it added.
Live Events
Position limits for NRIs would be same as the client-level position limits specified by Sebi from time to time.
At present, NRIs are required to inform stock exchanges about their clearing member and obtain a CP code, which is used by exchanges to track their positions in the derivatives segment.
The regulator has directed stock exchanges and clearing corporations to implement the revised norms within 30 days. Also, they have been asked to allow existing NRI clients to opt out of the CP code framework by submitting an email request within 90 days.
Further, members will be required to offer an option to NRIs who initially opt for CP code but later decide to exit, based on an email request.

While US market is important, the new free trade agreements with complementary economies will help us in export diversification and we also have a very vibrant domestic market," said Ajay Sahai, director general, Federation of Indian Export Organisations.

1k private schools served notices for lapses in RTE admissions in Haryana
Gurgaon: The education department has issued show-cause notices to over 1,000 private unaided schools for failing to update student admissions under the Right to Education (RTE) Act for the 2025–26 academic session. Officials said that about 1,600 schools across the state have been served notices. The urgency stems from the state's recent admission tracking report dated July 21, which revealed that only 58.52% of total admissions were verified. You Can Also Check: Gurgaon AQI | Weather in Gurgaon | Bank Holidays in Gurgaon | Public Holidays in Gurgaon Out of 11,803 RTE entries, just 4,096 were marked as accepted, 2,811 rejected and a staggering 4,896 remained unverified — despite clear directives issued weeks earlier. A senior department official said, "This is the first time this year that show-cause notices have been issued at this scale specifically for RTE admission reporting failures after giving multiple deadlines." While the academic session is already underway, officials warn that these lapses could not only delay reimbursements to schools but also jeopardise the admission rights of thousands of economically weaker section (EWS) students entitled to free education under RTE. In Gurgaon, 92 admissions were accepted and 179 rejected, while 199 were still waiting to be verified. Overall, only 57.66% of admissions have been verified. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like NRIs Living In Italy Are Eligible For INR 2 Lakh Monthly Pension. Invest 18K/Month Get Offer Undo The education department notices were issued shortly after it extended the final update deadline to target schools that failed to comply with mandatory reporting guidelines on the official RTE tracking portal. The move came after the department flagged 4,896 unverified RTE admissions statewide — procedural lapses such as no checking or submission of documents — despite repeated deadlines and warnings. An education department official said replies have begun coming in, but the department is still waiting for the latest consolidated report from the IT wing to assess district-wise follow-ups. "Verification is not just a technical step — it directly affects a child's future. We cannot allow systemic negligence in something so critical," the official said. As of now, the department continues to monitor responses to the show-cause notices and will take further action based on school replies and the final verification status. Meanwhile, districts like Karnal (640), Faridabad (490) and Bhiwani (332) accounted for the highest number of unverified cases. Nuh Mewat, where education standards are already low, stood out for its dismal verification rate of just 15.44%, with 219 out of 259 entries pending.

Second list of solar models & manufacturers likely in 10 days
New Delhi: The government is likely to publish the ' approved list of models and manufacturers ' (ALMM)-II that would prescribe the specifics and manufacturers for solar cells in India within the next 10 days, two people aware of the development said. The list is used to mandate the use of locally made solar modules and cells to be used in projects. However, ALMM-II has not been published so far because "the installed solar cell capacity in the country was lower than demand" leading to ambiguity in the auctions.

It prescribes the specifics and manufacturers in India that have been certified by the Bureau of Indian Standards . The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy had, last year, prescribed two important timelines for the mandate to use local solar cells. One was for the projects being tendered to have mandatory sourcing of solar cells from the second ALMM list, for which the cut off date was December 9, 2024.
