When the future holds out promises and options for
everyone; in the Futures & Options (F&O) Segment they were
faced with eternal damnation and loss of valuable securities,
lament the individual investors, who are the intervenors in these
appeals. Whether the reparations are to be borne by the Share
Broker, herein termed the Trading Member (TM) or the
Professional Clearing Member (PCM), the appellants herein, is
the dispute raised by the appellants, who distance themselves
Page 1 of 56
Civil Appeal No.31 of 2024 etc.
from the individual clients/investors, on the ground of absence of
privity of contract with those clients of the TM and lack of visibility
of their debit/credit positions.
I) Overview of the F&O Segment and the case:
2. First, a broad overview of the hierarchy and the operations
in the Stock Exchange; here the National Stock Exchange (NSE),
the 2nd respondent in Civil Appeal No.31 of 2024, which appeal is
taken as the lead case and the documents referred to therefrom,
unless otherwise specified. The operations, of clearing and
settlement of the various transactions are controlled by the NSE
Clearing Corporation (NCL), a subsidiary of the NSE. The
hierarchy in the NSE, is that, under its subsidiary, the NCL, termed
the Clearing Corporation, there are three types of Clearing
Members: Clearing Members (CM), Professional Clearing
Members (PCM) and Self-Clearing Members (SCM). A CM does
proprietary trades on its own account, has its own clients and also
handles the proprietary trades of the TM and their clients. A Self-
Clearing Member trades in its own account and also for and on
behalf of its clients; while a PCM deals only with their constituent
TMs and do not have proprietary trades or individual clients. The
PCM is registered only with the NCL while CM and SCM are

Civil Appeal No.31 of 2024 etc.
registered with the NSE and the NCL. The PCMs have as their
constituents a number of TMs, who in turn have clients, the
individual investors, who through their respective TMs carry out
the operations in listed shares and other derivatives on the
platform provided by the NSE.
3. As for the operations, a brief overview of the mechanism of
the F&O Segment, as understood from the records is necessary.
F&O Segment deals in major stock derivatives traded in the stock
market, recognized under Section 18A of the Securities Contract
(Regulations) Act, 19561. Though the F&O Segment operates in a
complex manner, simply put, it allows investors to buy or sell or
lock in the prices of, an underlying asset such as a stock, index or
commodity at a future date without actually owning it. Contracts
are entered for trading a stock asset at a pre-determined price,
applicable on a later date. The NCL ensures that the money and
security change hands safely on completion of the trade and the
obligation of investors to each other are duly met. The NCL acts
as a regulatory body in the operation of the trading platform of the
NSE and provides a settlement guarantee to the participants. The
investment made can lead to astronomical profits, without any

actual purchase or sale being carried out, or lead to massive
losses, often driving the speculators to penury. Quick money is
the lure and therein lies the trap too.
4. The execution of derivatives contracts, in the F&O Segment
as in any other trade and especially so for reason of its speculative
nature, requires collaterals in the form of money/stock/securities.
The clients, the individual investors place their collaterals with the
TM while the TM in turn place their own or their client’s collateral,
with the PCM. The PCM provides collaterals to the NCL and
together this provides a settlement guarantee ecosystem, since
every profit earned has a correspondi
