MeridStreet AI summary

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has stated that the Centralised Account Settlement (CAS) system will remain in place, but is open to reviewing and improving it. This means that the current system, which allows for the settlement of securities transactions in a centralized manner, will continue to operate. However, SEBI is willing to make adjustments if necessary, to ensure the system runs smoothly and efficiently. This review could potentially lead to changes that benefit market participants and the overall economy.
