The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan has directed the Central Depository Company (CDC) to allow release/movement of Securities financed through Continuous Funding System (CFS) from CFS blocked accounts of account holders on receipt of intimation from the Stock Exchange.
In a notification issued here on Wednesday it said that the directive had been given under Rule 7 of the Central Depository Cos (Establishment and Regulation) Rules 1996.
The SECP, referring to its letter dated November 16, wherein the mechanism for conversion of in-house badla to CFS was approved, and CDC's letter of November 17, said that in-house badla conversion would only be applicable for the House Accounts, and this one-time facility, provided to the CFS account holders, will cease once the shares are released.
