What exchanges and market regulators can do…

The margin on long had been increased to 25% in case of nifty recently which has also triggered in huge winding up of long due to margin as well as mark to mark. At the same time shorting has seen mark to mark credit giving upper hand to short sellers. Margins should be made 50 pc in case of shorting which could provide level plying. This will help short covering.
Increase the creeping acquisitions limits to 15% across the board so that all promoters wish to provide exit to investors mat use this opportunity to buyback their shares.
Introduce physical settlement immediately. JPC in 2003 has directed FNIMIN and market regulator to introduce the physical settlement which has till date not been implemented. This has been used to distort the share prices on the last day of the settlement. If this is not possible then the derivative market be renamed as speculative markets as the very purpose of hedge is missing.
