Full text

delivery of securities to clients, delay in issuance of contract notes, failure to maintain order book, failure to maintain client registration agreement and failure to ensure continuous preprinted serial numbers on the issued contract notes. The enquiry officer recommended that the registration of the broker be suspended for a period of four months.

count. 6.0 ALLEGATION AND REPLY: 6.1 As regards failure to maintain order book, the broker submitted that it was practically impossible and the practice was outmoded, therefore, they do not maintain it. The broker also submitted that the circular dated 11.02.1997 does not prescribe any form for maintaining any such book and the said circular refers to the contents of a contract requiring to show the specific time when the order was placed and executed and their contract notes specified the order number which can trace back the time and denied having violated the said circular.

7.2 FINDING : Though the client states that the agreements are available, they have not produced them either before the inspection team or before the Enquiry Officer. This shows the lack of bonafides on part of the said broker. I am not inclined to accept the submission of the broker that the client agreements are available with him in view of the fact that they were not produced either before the inspecting team or the Enquiry Officer even though the member has got enough opportunity to produce them. Client identification is important since it is aimed at identifying the clients behind transactions. This would establish the credentials of the clients and would help the broker in acting diligently in doing business for his clients. Failure to fill up client registration forms properly or non maintenance of the same is in contravention of the provisions of clause A (5) of Code of Conduct as contained in Schedule II of the said regulations read with circular no.SMD- 1/23341 dated 18.11.93, SMD/POLICY/IECG/1-97 dated 11.2.97 and SMD/POLICY/CIR/5-97 dated 11.4.97 issued by SEBI. Therefore, I hold the broker guilty on this count and I agree with the findings of the Enquiry Officer in this regard.
