Full text
“the said regulations”) submitted a report dated 17.12.2002. The enquiry officer has concluded that the broker had committed irregularities pertaining to failure to issue contract notes, failure to maintain client registration agreement , failure to ensure continuous preprinted serial numbers on the issued contract notes, failure to mention time stamping of orders, non-segregation of own funds from that of client’s funds, delay in transfer of demat scrips from members pool account and failure to obtain client’s acknowledgement on duplicate copies of contract notes.. The enquiry officer recommended that the registration of the broker be suspended for a period of one month.
there is no such lapse. Client acknowledgement with date and time are now obtained. 4.0 Consideration of the issues 4.1 I have taken into consideration the enquiry report and the submissions made by the said broker in his reply and at the personal hearing. My findings are as given below.
4.4 Contract notes without pre-printed serial numbers on annual basis : While admitting the same, the said broker has submitted that pre-printed serial numbers on annual basis were not given in the contract notes issued by him because their software vendor did not provide the facility. I hold that this is not a valid excuse since, SEBI circular No. SMD/MDP/CIR/043/96 dated 05.08.1996 categorically provides that brokers have to issue contract notes having pre-printed serial numbers on annual basis. I hold him guilty of violation of the said circular.
