SEBI tightens margin collection timelines for stock brokers in cash segment
By News Desk Published on April 28, 2025, 17:38 IST
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has issued a new circular mandating stock brokers and clearing members to align the collection of margins with the T+1 settlement cycle in the cash market.
Under the existing framework outlined in the Master Circular for Stock Brokers dated August 9, 2024, trading members (TMs) and clearing members (CMs) are required to mandatorily collect upfront Value at Risk (VaR) margins and Extreme Loss Margins (ELM) from their clients. Other margins were allowed to be collected within T+2 days.
Following the complete implementation of the T+1 settlement cycle from January 27, 2023, SEBI has now modified the timelines. Going forward, TMs and CMs will be required to collect all margins (except VaR and ELM) from their clients by the settlement day itself.
Key updates under the circular include: TMs and CMs must continue to collect upfront VaR margins and ELM before trade execution.
Other margins must be collected by the settlement day.
If a client completes the fund or securities pay-in by settlement day, other margins will be deemed to have been collected, and no penalty will apply.
If a client fails to make the pay-in by settlement day, and margins are not collected by then, penalties will be levied.
SEBI has directed all recognised stock exchanges and clearing corporations (excluding commodity clearing corporations) to amend their bye-laws, rules, and regulations accordingly and inform market participants.
The circular, signed by SEBI General Manager Aradhana Verma, has come into force with immediate effect.

ArisInfra Files RHP to Raise INR 500 Crore via IPO, Eyes Debt Repayment and Expansion
The company plans to allocate INR 204.6 crore towards debt repayment. According to the RHP, ArisInfra's total debt stood at INR 336.6 crore as of the end of FY25 You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media. ArisInfra, a B2B ecommerce firm operating in the infrastructure supply chain sector, has filed its red herring prospectus (RHP) to raise INR 499.6 crore through an initial public offering, nearly seven months after receiving regulatory approval from SEBI. The IPO, which comprises only a fresh issue of shares, will open for subscription on June 18 and close on June 20, according to the company's filings. The PharmEasy-backed company had originally planned to raise INR 600 crore through the IPO when it filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) in August 2024. However, the size was later revised to INR 579.6 crore and eventually reduced further to the current INR 499.6 crore. Ahead of the public issue, ArisInfra raised INR 80 crore in a pre-IPO placement round by allotting over 36 lakh equity shares at INR 222 per share. Investors in this round included Columbus Fin Vest's director Vanaja Sundar Iyer and Param Capital Group founder Mukul Mahavir Agrawal. The proceeds from the IPO will primarily be used to improve ArisInfra's balance sheet and support business operations. The company plans to allocate INR 204.6 crore towards debt repayment. According to the RHP, ArisInfra's total debt stood at INR 336.6 crore as of the end of FY25. A substantial portion of this debt—INR 200 crore—was secured in 2021 from Priyanka Medical Pvt Ltd (PMPL), which is part of the promoter group and is backed by the parents of PharmEasy founder Siddharth Shah. The loan carries an interest rate of 12 per cent per annum. Another INR 177 crore from the IPO proceeds will go towards meeting working capital needs, reflecting the company's continued push to scale operations. Additionally, INR 47.8 crore will be invested in Buildmex-Infra Pvt Ltd, a subsidiary of ArisInfra, to support its own working capital requirements. The remaining INR 70 crore has been earmarked for general corporate purposes and potential acquisitions. However, the RHP specifies that not more than INR 60 crore will be used for any inorganic growth initiatives. Following the close of the subscription window, ArisInfra is set to list its equity shares on both the BSE and NSE.

Arlington prepares for global spotlight as 2026 FIFA World Cup approaches
With just one year to go until the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, preparations are well underway in Arlington. AT&T Stadium is set to host nine matches — the most of any venue in North America — and officials expect millions of fans to flock to North Texas during the month-long tournament. "A lot of times people say that it's nine Super Bowls," said Matt Wilson, executive director of the Arlington Sports Commission. "It's even more than that." City leverages experience with major events Arlington, already a seasoned host of major sporting events, is drawing on years of experience to prepare for the international spotlight. "We'll take all the lessons that we've learned over the past 10, 15, 20 years here to make sure that people have the best experience they possibly can," Wilson said. Thousands of people are expected to gather in Arlington's entertainment district, whether or not they have tickets. City leaders say the infrastructure is ready to handle the crowds, pointing to the success of events like the Texas Rangers' World Series parade in 2023. "First and foremost, we want to have a safe and fun environment, and preparations are well underway to make sure that's the focal point," Wilson said. Economic impact expected to be massive The World Cup is projected to generate an estimated $2 billion for the North Texas region and boost tourism across the state. "Folks will be here for the games, but then they will also have time to explore communities and to branch out to see more of Texas and all that we have to offer as a destination," said Erika Boyd, president and CEO of the Texas Travel Alliance. Local businesses gear up for global visitors Local hotels, restaurants, and businesses are already preparing for the influx of international visitors. "And the experiences that we create for visitors in Texas have a lasting economic impact for the state and actually help to offset the household taxes that all Texans pay," Boyd said. A global stage and a lasting legacy As the countdown continues, local leaders are embracing the opportunity to showcase the region on a global stage. The hope is that Arlington's moment in the spotlight will not only impress the world, but leave a legacy that lasts for years to come.

Experts Issue Urgent Warning After Massive AT&T Data Leak Resurfaces
AT&T customers are being warned to act fast after a trove of stolen data, containing up to 86 million customer records, resurfaced on cybercrime forums this week. According to McAfee security experts, the leak includes personal details that could easily lead to identity theft. The database was originally stolen in a 2024 breach but had not been widely published until now. Researchers say Russian hackers appear to be selling the data on underground forums, and cybercriminals now have access to email addresses, phone numbers, and, most alarmingly, nearly 44 million Social Security numbers. 'If you're an AT&T customer, now's the time to take action,' warned Jasdev Dhaliwal of McAfee. 'This data is already circulating, and it contains everything criminals need to impersonate you—your SSN, name, phone number, and more.' Newsweek reported that cybersecurity expert Steve Weisman echoed that concern, adding that once your Social Security number is out, the best defense is to get an IRS-issued PIN to prevent fraudulent tax filings. AT&T responded by saying this is not a new breach. "After analysis by our internal teams as well as external data consultants, we are confident this is repackaged data previously released on the dark web in March 2024," the company said in a statement. AT&T added that all affected customers had already been notified last year and that law enforcement is involved in the latest development. But with the data making headlines again, and being actively sold, experts urge customers not to assume they're safe. They recommend checking your credit reports, freezing your credit if needed, and updating your AT&T account password. The exposed data could be used in phishing scams, loan fraud, or even to file false tax returns. Bottom line: even if this isn't a brand-new breach, the damage is far from over. And if your identity is part of the leak, ignoring it now could cost you Issue Urgent Warning After Massive AT&T Data Leak Resurfaces first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 12, 2025
