This circular outlines SEBI's revised stress testing framework for determining the Minimum Required Corpus (MRC) of the Core Settlement Guarantee Fund (Core SGF) in the equity derivatives segment. Key aspects include introducing new stress testing methodologies like Stressed VaR, Filtered Historic Simulation, and Factor Model, in addition to existing hypothetical and historical scenarios. Clearing Corporations (CCs) are categorized into two groups based on market share for applying cover-n standards. Provisions allow one-time inter-segment transfer of funds from equity cash to derivatives segment and staggered contributions to meet additional MRC requirements. CCs must formulate joint Standard Operating Procedures and implement necessary systems for compliance within stipulated timelines.
