Short selling in India

Short selling in India is regulated by SEBI and exchanges and generally requires borrowed shares or derivative hedges.

SEBI and the exchanges define cash-market short-sale frameworks, disclosures, and restrictions on naked shorts.

SLBM can supply borrowed shares for delivery against short sales where eligible.

Most retail short exposure is taken via futures or options rather than cash short sales.

BTST and STBT product nuances are separate retail sequence labels, not the full regulatory framework.
