Dismissing several media reports on linking options leverage limits to cash positions, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) on Tuesday (July 8) clarified that no such proposal is currently under consideration.

In a statement shared on its X official account, the market watchdog stated that no such proposal is currently under consideration.

The clarification comes amid speculation in certain sections of the media that SEBI may be planning changes in the regulatory framework concerning derivative trading.

Addressing the issue, SEBI reiterated its commitment to a transparent and consultative regulatory process.

“As ever, SEBI will follow due process including transparent and public consultation around any proposed changes to any regulation or circular,” the statement said.
