Clearcorp Dealing Systems
(India) Ltd. (Clearcorp), a wholly owned subsidiary of CCIL, was
incorporated in June, 2003 to facilitate, set up and carry on the business of
providing dealing systems/platform in Collateralised Borrowing and Lending
Obligation (CBLO), Repos and all money market instruments of any kind
and also in foreign exchange (FX-CLEAR) and currencies of all kinds.
Clearcorp has been set up to facilitate CCIL to segregate its other activities
from Clearing and Settlement activities, a risk bearing activity. Accordingly,
the Shareholders of CCIL at their meeting held on June 4, 2003 resolved to
transfer all activities of the Company relating to Forex Dealing Platform
(FX-CLEAR) and Collateralised Borrowing and Lending (CBLO) dealing platform to
Clearcorp and the same has been made operational from January 1, 2004. |
Collateralised Borrowing and
Lending Obligation (CBLO) is a product developed by CCIL for the benefit
of entities who have either been phased out from inter bank call money market
or have been given restricted participation in terms of ceiling on call
borrowing and lending transactions and who do not have access to the call money
market. CBLO is a discounted instrument available in electronic book entry form
for the maturity period ranging from one day to ninety days (can be made
available up to one year as per RBI guidelines). In order to enable the market
participants to borrow and lend funds, CCIL provides the Dealing System through
Indian Financial Network (INFINET), a closed user group to the Members of the
Negotiated Dealing System (NDS) who maintain Current account with RBI and
through Internet for other entities who do not maintain Current account with
RBI.
