Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey on Friday addressed the much-discussed issue of changes to the weekly F&O expiries, clarifying that the regulator will follow a transparent process before taking any final call.
According to CNBC-TV18, Pandey said a consultation paper will be issued as and when it is ready, ensuring all market participants have clarity on the proposed changes. He emphasized that any decision on weekly options expiry will only be taken after floating the consultation paper and following due process.
The remarks come at a time when speculation is rife about SEBI’s move to align expiries or possibly transition towards a monthly expiry cycle. The regulator, however, has stressed that the views of all stakeholders will be taken into account before any framework is finalized.
