Step 1: Defining Bad Delivery:
A bad delivery occurs in the physical share environment when shares delivered by a seller are rejected due to technical discrepancies, such as signature mismatch, forged certificates, or incorrect transfer deeds.
Step 2: Checking Clearing Corporation Guidelines:
To maintain market stability and ensure timely settlement, any receiving member who detects a bad delivery must report it to the Clearing Corporation within a strict deadline to initiate rectification or an auction.
Step 3: Identifying the Reporting Window:
Standard operational guidelines specify that bad deliveries must be reported to the Clearing Corporation within 2 days (B) of receipt of the pay-out.
