Policies and Procedure

 1. Refusal of orders for penny / illiquid stock / non permitted stock

A stock that trades at a relatively low price and market capitalization is a penny stock. Penny stock companies are highly speculative and high risk because of their lack of liquidity, large bid-ask spreads, small capitalization, and limited following and disclosure

, making it difficult to sell shares. In extreme cases, investors may encounter difficulty liquidating their positions. Low liquidity also translates into easy manipulation of penny stocks due to most penny stocks being thinly traded. Both NSE and BSE list out penny stocks/illiquid stocks by way of circulars under the surveillance and investigation section. We advise clients to exercise extreme caution while  investing/trading in penny stocks. NU Investors may from time to time limit (quantity/ value) / refuse orders in one or more securities due to various reasons including market liquidity, the value of the security(ies), the order being for securities that are not in the permitted list of NU Investors / exchange(s) / SEBI. Provided further that stock broker may require compulsory settlement/advance payment of expected settlement value/ delivery of securities for settlement prior to acceptance/placement of order(s) as well. The client agrees that the losses, if any on account of such refusal or due to delay caused by such limits, shall be borne exclusively by the client alone. The stock broker may require reconfirmation of orders, which are larger than that specified by the stock broker’s risk management, and the client is also aware that NU Investors has the discretion to reject the execution of such orders based on its risk perception. NU Investors shall have the prerogative to place such restrictions, notwithstanding that the client has sufficient credit or margin available in his account.

Setting up client’s exposure limits and conditions under which a client may not be allowed to take further position or the broker may close the existing position of a client. NU Investors may from time to time impose and vary limits on the orders that the client can place through the stock broker’s trading system (including exposure limits, turnover limits, limits as to the number, value and/or kind of securities in respect of which orders can be placed etc.). The client is aware and agrees that NU Investors may need to vary or reduce the limits or impose new limits urgently on the basis of NU Investors’s risk perception and other factors considered relevant by NU Investors including but not limited to limits on account of exchange/ SEBI directions/limits ( such as broker level/ market level limits in security specific / volume specific exposures etc.), and NU Investors may be unable to inform the client of such variation, reduction or imposition in advance.

6.  Shortages in obligations arising out of internal netting of trade 

BSE has a window wherein the internal short deliveries can get auctioned as per the normal auction process. In case there is an internal shortage in BSE the exchange conducts an auction through which the shares would be purchased and delivered to the

buyer. The seller would be debited at the rate at which the exchange would have purchased these shares. Additionally brokerage, statutory costs and other incidental charges including penalty for non-delivery may be debited to the client. In case the exchange is unable to purchase these shares, the exchange will inform NU Investors of a close out rate, at which the buyer would be allowed credit and the seller would be debited for the same amount.

Internal short deliveries are not covered by the auction conducted on the NSE. It is due to this limitation on the NSE we follow the procedure as mentioned below:

1. The client may not receive shares on T+2 in case there is an internal shortage situation with NU Investors e. the buyer and seller are both NU Investors clients and the seller defaults in delivery due to which the buyer may not receive the shares.

2. In case of an internal shortage firstly the defaulting seller would be debited with a value as on the previous day of the pay-in-day plus 30% for the default till such time the auction process is completed.

3. If securities cannot be purchased from market due to any reason whatsoever on T+3 day they can be covered from the market on any subsequent trading In case any reason whatsoever (any error or omission) any delay in covering of securities leads to higher losses, stock broker will not be liable for the same. Where the delivery is matched partially or fully at the Exchange Clearing, the delivery and debits/credits shall be as per Exchange Debits and Credits.

4. In cases of securities having corporate actions all cases of short delivery of cum transactions which cannot be auctioned on cum basis or where the cum basis auction payout is after the book closure / record date, would be compulsory closed out at higher of 10% above the official closing price on the auction day or the highest traded price from first trading day of the settlement till the auction day.

7.  Temporarily suspending or closing a client’s account

NU Investors can suspend/close the client account and also withhold the pay-outs of client if there is any judicial or/and regulatory order/directive/ action requiring suspension/closure of client’s account. NU Investors can also suspend/close the client account if NU Investors observes any abnormal or suspicious activity in the client account through its monitoring and surveillance of the client account. NU Investors may also temporarily suspend/close the client account if there is no activity in the client account for a period, as deemed fit by NU Investors from time to time. The client’s account can also be put under temporary suspension/closure if the client has not cleared the uncovered debit in its account or if the client has not submitted Know Your Client (KYC) details sought by NU Investors to fulfill its own surveillance or exchange related requirements.

In the event of information/reports reaching NU Investors of the client’s death, the account can also be put under temporary suspension/closur

NU Investors can also put the client’s account under temporary suspension/closure if the client has failed to provide or update its communication details like correspondence address, mobile number, landline numbers or e- mail ID.

In respect of securities that have not been paid for in full by clients:

14.1If payment is not made by the client to Lemonn, the securities will be transferred to the respective client’s demat account, and an auto-pledge instruction (without any specific instruction from the client) shall be created in favor of the “Client Unpaid Securities Pledgee Account” (CUSPA) of the NU Depository system. The stock will be held with 30% extra margin on total net debit (ledger debit + virtual debit + 30%). After creation of the pledge, a communication (email/SMS) is sent by NU informing the client about their funds obligation, and about NU’s right to sell such securities in the event of failure by the client to fulfil their obligation.

14.2If the client pays the pending dues within 3 trading days after the pay-out, Lemonn will execute a unilateral closure instruction and release the pledge, so the securities are debited from the client’s demat pledge balance and credited to the client’s demat account as free balance.

14.3If the client does not pay the dues, Lemonn shall dispose of (sell) such unpaid securities in the market within five trading days after the pay-out. Before disposing of the securities, NU shall give an intimation (email/SMS) to the client one trading day before such sale. The unpaid securities shall be sold in the market with the UCC details of the respective client, and the same will be invoked for pay-in against obligation.
