SEBI allows short selling by all, disclosure must

The Securities and Exchange Board of India said that investors across all categories will be allowed for short-selling, but naked short-selling will not be permitted.

Further, all stocks that trade in the futures and options segment are eligible for short-selling.

“Naked short-selling shall not be permitted in the Indian securities market and accordingly, all investors would be required to mandatorily honour their obligation of delivering the securities at the time of settlement,” the regulator said in its framework.
