2. While granting recognition to Clearing Corporations in 2018, considering the growth of commodity derivatives market at that time, Clearing Corporations were mandated to augment their core SGF/ earmark additional funds to the respective target corpus level in the subsequent years based on overall risk, peak open interest in the previous period as well as expected growth of business in the future.

3. SEBI has received representations from Clearing Corporations that in light of the turnover and the open interest observed at the stock exchanges in the recent times, the target corpus level prescribed at the time of recognition of Clearing Corporations may be reviewed and methodology for computation of core SGF corpus in Commodity Derivatives Segment may now be harmonised with that of other segments.
