Sol. India has become one of the only countries in the world to fully implement the ‘tradeplus-one’ (T+1) settlement cycle for investors in top listed securities.
Additional Info-
• Aside from China which is partly under the T+1 settlement cycle, most international markets such as the US, Europe, and Japan are still under the ‘T+2’ settlement cycle.
• From 27 January onwards, shares sold or bought in the Indian share market would reflect in investors’ demat accounts after a period of one day.

WHAT IS T+1 SYSTEM?
T+1 settlement cycle means investors buying stocks will get the delivery of the shares on the day after the transaction is executed. Say if an investor buys shares on a Monday, s/he will get these shares in his/her demat account by Tuesday. Prior to this, investors needed to wait for two working days to get delivery of shares. This system would also apply to the market participants selling shares. Under the previous T+2 system, it used to take two days for the investors to get the actual proceeds of the transaction but now the same will be credited within a day.
