RBI allows Sebi-registered non-bank brokers to access NDS-OM for government securities trading, while forming a working group on market timings.
The RBI on Friday (February 7, 2025) said non-bank brokers registered with market-regulator Sebi can directly access NDS-OM, an electronic trading platform for secondary market transactions in government securities, on behalf of their clients.
Access to Negotiated Dealing System – Order Matching (NDS-OM), at present is available to regulated entities and to the clients of banks and standalone primary dealers.
"With a view to widening access, it has been decided that non-bank brokers registered with SEBI can directly access NDS-OM, on behalf of their clients," the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) said.
Sebi registered brokers may access NDS-OM subject to the regulations and conditions laid down by the Reserve Bank in this regard.
