Posted on by Dharamveer

Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and Exchanges in order to enhance market integrity and safeguard interest of investors, have been introducing various enhanced pre-emptive surveillance measures such as reduction in price band, periodic call auction and transfer of securities to Trade to Trade category from time to time.

In continuation to various surveillance measures already implemented, SEBI and Exchanges, pursuant to discussions in joint surveillance meetings, have decided that along with the aforesaid measures there shall be Additional Surveillance Measures (ASM) on securities with surveillance concerns based on objective parameters viz. Price variation, Volatility etc.

The shortlisting of securities for placing in ASM is based on an objective criteria as jointly decided by SEBI and Exchanges covering following parameters:

  • High Low Variation
  • Client Concentration
  • No. of Price Band Hits
  • Close to Close Price Variation
  • PE ratio

The aforementioned criteria is dynamic in nature and subject to change from time to time.

The surveillance actions applicable for the shortlisted securities is as under:

  • Securities shall be placed in Price Band of 5%
  • Margins shall be levied at the rate of 100%

The securities which are placed under the ASM framework would be reviewed on bimonthly basis for the applicability of Additional Surveillance Measure.

Market participants may note that ASM framework shall be in conjunction with all other prevailing surveillance measures being imposed by the Exchanges from time to time.

Further, it may also be noted that the shortlisting of securities under ASM is purely on account of market surveillance and it should not be construed as an adverse action against the concerned company / entity.
