SLBM

SLBM is the named NSE/BSE Securities Lending and Borrowing Mechanism for lending and borrowing shares in India.

For Indian listed equities, exchange SLBM is the transparent venue where lending and borrowing are matched and cleared.

Lenders earn a fee while borrowers obtain shares for delivery or hedging needs under exchange risk frameworks.

General securities-lending economics are separate; in India equity practice the venue is typically SLBM.

Eligibility, fees, and corporate-action handling follow exchange and clearing-house procedures.
