Sebi allows all investors to short sell December 20, 2007 17:52 IST "The stock exchanges would issue the necessary guidelines in this regard and will put in place systems to operationalise the mechanism of short-selling," Sebi said. However, the system of 'naked short selling' as is available in the US markets has not been allowed, and all investors must honour their obligation of delivering the securities at the time of settlement. In order to provide for a mechanism for borrowing of securities to enable settlement of securities that are sold short, Sebi has decided to implement a full-fledged securities lending and borrowing scheme for market participants. Stock exchanges would issue guidelines in this respect as well.
