Motilal Oswal bars intra-day short-selling in non-F&O stocks

Live Mint  

Leading financial services firm Motilal Oswal Financial Services will bar its clients from taking intraday short-selling position on stocks that are not part of the futures and options segment from Monday. Reason behind the move Motilal Oswal, in a note to its business partners or authorized personnel on Friday, cited a Sebi circular of 5 January last year that spells out the framework for short selling—selling stocks one doesn't own at the time of the trade.

In response to Mint's query on the Sebi circular, a Motilal Oswal Financial Services spokesperson said that the reporting of short-selling in non-F&O stocks has been in place as per Sebi guidelines.
