Annexure 1

 

Points for consideration

 

-    For BULK Deal record

o        Trades executed in the normal market for the day with Date, Symbol, Series, member code and Client Code combination will be considered.

o        Where the total quantity for above combination exceeds (equal to or greater than) 0.5% of total listed capital either on buy or on sell side then the record will be identified as BULK deal.

o        If BULK deal is identified on the buy side, sell side quantity for above combination in Normal market will also be considered.

o        If BULK deal is identified on sell side, buy side quantity for above combination in Normal market will also be considered.

 

-    For BLOCK Deal record

o        Trades executed in the odd lot market ‘BL’ series for the day with Date, Symbol, Series, member code and Client Code combination will be considered.

o        Quantity on both the sides (buy and sell) will be considered, if available.

 

-    For DERIVED BULK deal

o        Trades executed in the odd lot market ‘BL’ series for the day with Date, Symbol, Series, member code and Client code combination will be considered.

o        Where the total quantity for above combination exceeds (equal to or greater than) 0.5% of total listed capital either on buy or on sell side then the record will be identified as DERIVED BULK deal.

o        If DERIVED BULK deal is identified on the buy side, normal market trades (if any) for Date, Symbol, member code and Client Code combination on the buy side will be added in the quantity. Also, quantity for the trades executed in the odd lot market ‘BL’ series and normal market trades for the aforesaid combination will be considered for the sell side.

o        If DERIVED BULK deal is identified on the sell side, normal market trades (if any) for Date, Symbol, member code and Client Code combination on the sell side will be added in the quantity. Also, quantity for the trades executed in the odd lot market ‘BL’ series and normal market trades for the aforesaid combination will be considered for the buy side.

 

Illustration

 

Say for example, there has been a deal which qualifies as a block deal as follows:

Symbol

Series

Client

Buy qty

Sell qty

Issue size (no. of shares) of ACC

0.5% of issue size to qualify as bulk deal

ACC

BL

XYZ

9,50,0000

9,50,0000

18,69,61,305

9,34,807

 

Since the buy or sell quantity is more than 0.5% of issue size of ACC, this deal also needs to be reported as bulk deal. Hence such deals have been defined as derived bulk deal.

In such case, trades executed for a particular client in the odd lot market (‘BL’ series) and normal market, trades for both the markets will be combined and given to the members.

 

Members may note that the indicative bulk / block deals report will also contain records for derived bulk deal (refer annexure 2 for file format).
